About

While Courtney Love does indeed claim “Where Boys Fear to Tread” was inspired by her, Corgan hasn’t commented on the issue. This isn’t unusual however, as Corgan rarely explains his lyrics and tries to stay away from tabloid fame.

Where Boys Fear to Tread Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Candy cane walk down
To build a bonfire, to break my fall
My baby, my sweet thing
Just maybe we could lose ourselves this time

[Verse 2]
King of the horseflies, dark prince of death
His tragic forces are heaven-sent
In sweet things, in a lover's breath
In knowing this was meant to be the last

[Verse 3]
A go, go, go kids, a go, go, go style
A suck, suck, suck kiss, a suck, suck, suck smile
As always, in young need
A veiled promise to never die

[Verse 4]
On dead highways, her black beauties roam
For June angels, so far from home
For a love lost, a faded picture
To tread lightning, to ink the lavender skies

[Outro]
Get on, get on, get on the bomb
Get back, get back where you belong
Get on, get on, get on the bomb
Get back, get back where you belong
Get on, get on, get on the bomb
Get back, get back where you belong
Get on
The bomb

What did The Smashing Pumpkins say about "Where Boys Fear to Tread"?

Out there on the highways, lurking in the recesses of those murky underpasses, are those boys who know that life as it is presented to most, is a scam; a work; a misguided waste. Not everyone grabs a gun and allays their phallic fears out at the expense of others. Most just brood and wait for someth...
