Billy CorganWe Only Come Out at Night Lyrics
[Chorus]
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night
[Verse 1]
And once again, you'll pretend to know me well, my friends
And once again, I'll pretend to know the way
Through the empty space, through the secret places
Of the heart
[Chorus]
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night
[Verse 2]
I walk alone, I walk alone to find the way home
I'm on my own, I'm on my own to see the ways
That I can't help the days, you will make it home okay
I know you can, and you can
[Chorus]
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night
[Verse 3]
And once again, no, you'll pretend to know that
That there's an end, that there's an end to this begin
It will help you sleep at night, it will make it seem that
Right is always right, alright?
[Chorus]
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

What did The Smashing Pumpkins say about "We Only Come Out at Night"?
In my thirst for musical altruism I bought a
zither by mail order, which brought immedi-
ate laughter from those in the gallows who
said I’d never play it. I wrote this song that
night to prove them wrong, a clever riposte
to where we all thought ourselves so clever
and dark and cool. Once you belon...
What sort of critical reception did this track receive?
Spin spoke highly of the song, ranking it as one of the best tracks on the MCIS album:
One of the rare songs on Mellon Collie that actually knows how silly it is, with synth farts, tip-tap drums and Addams Family harpsichord encouraging all the little goth kiddies to sing along. In the imaginary SP...
