I lay my head on her bosom To cry myself to sleep I see no greater wisdom Than she has given me La Dolly Vita Sweet as true love La Dolly Vita Cool as ice cream Cool as ice cream You hear a lot of visions You can't even stop Can't see what you're missing Spinning like a top Fade away I want to see her Fade away I want to see her I only want to meet her La Dolly Vita True as blue sky La Dolly Vita Cool as ice cream Cool as ice cream Take it all the way down Forsake what you have now Take it all the way down |

Other Info: The original version of the song which was on the Tristessa vinyls, appeared on Pisces Iscariot. It was also recorded during the Gish demos but was never released. Billy Corgan said in the liner notes of Pisces Iscariot that it is "so old yet is kinda timeless in a strange way" because "it has a dignity all in it". He also said that they tried to re-record it but his heart was not in it (referring to the Gish recording session version). He said that La Dolly Vita brings so many memories and that it was one of his favorite hidden songs. When the song was recorded it was the first time they met Butch Vig. On June 15th, 1999, during an official chat between Billy, James and the fans, James said that this song was one song that he now wishes had been on Gish.
