Stone Temple Pilots - Silvergun Superman Lyrics






find you in the dark
read you like a cheap surprise
without shame
sell me out, and frame your name

I can hear when the pig whispers sweetly
jealousy is the weapon you kill me
keep a dime for a truth you might tell
you toed the line, and I know it was mine
couldn't hide, write a wave, ride a lie
let me know, can I friend ask you why?

rolling back the days
with my friend I love to play
the "little one"
superman with silver gun

I can hear when the pig whispers sweetly
jealousy is the weapon you kill me
keep a dime for a truth you might tell

wait for me, take a dive take a piece of my life
(leave me numb)
wait for me, tell a lie, try to take my life
(leave me numb)
wait for me, take a dive take a piece of my life
(leave me numb)
close to me, and I'll leave you numb

  68. M.... P....

    Esto deberia sonar en la radio, en las mañanas, para darte el hype antes de ir a trabajar o estudiar, Soundgarde, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, lo unico que saben pasar en regeton o cumbia de la mala :(

  69. L.... S....

    How I miss Scott... This track kicks ass!! \m/

  70. m.... ....

    they play so well - together!

  71. M.... M....

    Purple 2as the best alt album of the 90s... spectacular

  72. L.... Q....

    Sleether guitar lines

  73. S.... B....

    Grungy to the fullest

  74. J.... M....

    Kick or die !

  75. B.... M....

    there is not a song I don't like, what ever I put on is a jam !

  76. D.... D....

    this is probably my fave stp album.

  77. Z.... G....

    Dean sure has some mean riffs

  78. O.... O....

    still miss ya Scott!!

  79. L.... B....

    If you play guitar friends this is a wicked fun one to play . All of stp's dean's stiff Is . He is very technical and SIMPLY WICKED . LIKE SOUR GIRL TRY THAT ONE SEEMS EASY BUT NAAA NOT REALLY . ENJOY AND CHEERS 🤘🤘🤘🤘

  80. J.... J....

    RIP brother your music got me through all the hard times and the good times they will never be another 1 like u this is music period not this trash today I remember buying on a cassette when I was 12 ahhhhhh the good ole days

  81. D.... W....

    Definitely some Beatle-esque vibes happening during the chorus... I saw STP play live at ZetaFest in Miami in 2000, 25 feet from the stage - best band of the entire day; far better than Filter, whose equipment I hauled to the show in my tractor-trailer.! Live sound of STP is unmatched!

  82. A.... M....

    Scott i'll cry for you forever, yours songs have the probably the most sense of my life...

  83. C.... P....

    If I was a professional wrestler, this would be my entrance music. Such a wicked band.

    C.... P....

    The only problem is that they would cut the song short and that would be terrible

  84. e.... c....

    not every band has a masterpiece, alice in chains had dirt, prince had purple rain, this was stp's masterpiece, every song was awesome. core came close but this was the one

    e.... c....

    STP had so many...

    e.... c....

    Alice in Chains had everything. Smashing Pumpkins have Mellon Collie. Nirvana has MTV Unplugged in New York. STP had Purple. Pearl Jam has Ten.

    e.... c....

    I love this album but imo Core is their best

    e.... c....

    @Deven Powers Honestly yes, AiC never dropped the ball.

  85. C.... M....

    a música só não foi perfeita pq não terminou ralentando!

  86. l.... l....

    Their best piece of work ever!

  87. s.... j....

    Still a great jam!

  88. A.... L....

    STP was always poetic and for me so mysterious, this song is like that. It keeps me thinking even 20 odd years later.

    A.... L....

    Not to mention a sick riff and composition all over.

    A.... L....

    Totally mysterious

  89. C.... W....

    May I use this song for a video?

  90. R.... W....

    You told a line, and I know it was mine. Happens all the time at the bar!

  91. J.... F....

    12 years old in 1994 and I had purple on cassette tape!!!

  92. S.... ....

    Badass song and the only STP album I care about. "Core" was too derivative, and they went off the rails and up their own ass after "Purple". I got this from the library when it came out and dubbed it with my parents' dual cassette boombox. I played it so much in my Walkman, the tape started wearing out. Good times.

  93. J.... F....

    Growing up in the 90s ruled

    J.... F....

    Very true. I miss the days of gorgeous women having full pubic hair muffs.

    J.... F....

    @Jeff lol WTF, wasn't that the 70's?

    J.... F....

    @Virtual_ IT_Admin all decades until the turn of the millennium then that's when everything changed for the worse

    J.... F....

    Oh yeahhh: being a direct witness of the last true rock music era is a privilege that many can never achieve....
    Long live the 90’s...

    J.... F....

    God damn right

  94. J.... E....

    Major cold chills at 00:15.

  95. m.... ....

    Dean and Robert DeLeo are just amazing!

  96. J.... V....

    Dammit I miss music like this. Unfortunately I was just a kid when this era happened but thankfully had an older brother who religiously listened to this among other.

  97. a.... ....

    Badass song. Thanks Scott

  98. C.... Y....

    That lick at 3:47 i love mannn
    Got that George Lynch taste2 it
