Corgan told Music Radar a lot about the instrumentation to this song, drawing a heavy contrast between the old Pumpkins albums and the newer ones:
This was one of those where you have a good riff, and you say, ‘I’m going to write a song around it’…you don’t want to get too tricky [as it takes away...
If I was to listen I’d turn back
Give up on my reasons
Forgive up the past

They give you this
They take away that
Thorazine
There’ll be no rallies
There’ll be no long lost friends
Caught on a spotlight
Running out of present tense
To fix by a feeling of an end
So many lives
A runaway life
Please come back
Please come back
Please come back Pale Horse
Please come back
Please come back
Please come back Pale Horse
Please come back
Please come back
Please come back Pale Horse
Please come back
Please come back
Please come back Pale Horse
