Recorded at the Alabamahalle in Munich, Germany on September 3, 1993.
Preceded by Billy telling the crowd to stop pelting the stage with cups, uttering the iconic “stoppen zie throwen zie cuppen” – sadly this is cut off of the recording on the Earphoria CD.
[James Iha]
Uhh... Danke
[Verse 1]
Lover, lover, let's pretend
We're born as innocents
Cast into the world with apple eyes
To wish, wish dangerous
My dear delirious
To try and leave the rest of us behind
[Chorus]
Shot full of diamonds
And a million years
The disappointed disappear
Like they were never here
Ahh
[Verse 2]
Kiss, kiss all of this
The hiss that we had missed
And understand what can't be understood
Sear those thoughts of me
Alonе and unhappy
I never liked mе anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
If by chance
Or circumstance
We should fail
Don't be so sad
[Chorus]
Shot full of diamonds
And a million years
The disappointed disappear
Like they were never here
[Bridge 1]
In a dream we are connected
Siamese twins, at the wrist
And then I knew we'd been forsaken
Expelled from paradise
I can't believe them
When they say that it's alright
You know it's motherfucking alright!
[Guitar Solo]
AAAAAAAAAAAOW!
[Bridge 2]
Words can't define what I feel inside
Who needs them?
Caught with this virus of my mind
I give in to my disease, of my needs
To my disease, of my needs
OOOOOOOOOOW!
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
She really loves to break
Her dad says it's okay
She really loves to break
And give it all away
Her ma says she's afraid
What more can she fake?
She really needs to break
And give herself away
She gave it all away
She gave it all away
She gave it all away
I really love the USA!
