Marilyn Manson Picture
Marilyn Manson, born Brian Hugh Warner, is the lead singer of the Los Angeles based alternative rock group of the same name. Warner chose the name, a combination of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson, to illustrate what he considered to be the extreme dualism of late 20th century American culture. The stage name of each band member was originally created by combining the first name of an iconic female sex symbol and the last name of an iconic mass murderer or serial killer, though this naming convention has not extended to new band members after the mid-90s. Formed in 1989 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids, the band's uniquely theatrical performances gathered a local cult following that developed over time into a worldwide fanbase. By the late 1990s the band was considered one of modern music's most widely-known and controversial acts; this was due, in large part, to Manson's then-frequent clashes with religious and political groups.

Eat Me, Drink Me Lyrics

Marilyn Manson

In The Wasteland
On The Way To The Red Queen...
It's No Wonder Our Stage Clothes
Have Dreams To Be Famous.
The Trees In The Courtyard
Are Painted In Blood,
So I've Heard.
She Hangs The Headless
Upside Down To Drain.

Eat Me, Drink Me
Eat Me, Drink Me
This Is Only A Game,
This Is Only A Game

I Was Invited To
A Beheading Today.
I Thought I Was A Butterfly
Next To Your Flame.
A Rush Of Panic And
The Lock Has Been Raped.
This Is Only A Game,
This Is Only A Game...

But Then Our Star Rushes In,
Feeling Like A Child And Looking
Like A Woman...
She Has Been Forecast With An
Attempt To Kill Herself,
But The Ending Didn't Test Well.

I Was Invited To
A Beheading Today.
I Thought I Was A Butterfly
Next To Your Flame.
A Rush Of Panic And
The Lock Has Been Raped.
This Is Only A Game,
This Is Only A Game...

Eat Me, Drink Me
Eat Me, Drink Me
This Is Only A Game,
This Is Only A Game.

But Then Our Star Rushes In,
Feeling Like A Child And Looking
Like A Woman...
She Has Been Forecast With An
Attempt To Kill Herself,
But The Ending Didn't Test Well.

So Picking My Skin
And My Scales.
I See My Horror
Reflected In The
Sundown Of Your
Blank Stare.
I See My Horror
Reflected In The
Sundown Of Your
Blank Stare.

Eat Me, Drink Me
Eat Me, Drink Me
This Is Only A Game,
This Is Only A Game.
