[Verse 1]
I'm a kickstand in your mouth
And I'm the tongue slamming on the brakes
Pull the choke in, pull the choke in
As hard as it will take

All your pictures are getting dirty
Don't want anyone else's hand on my gears
And I'll choke on all the diamonds
Like a vulture on your face

[Chorus]
So ask yourself, before you get in
I know the insurance won't cover this
Are you the rabbit or the headlight?
And is there room in your life for one more breakdown?

[Post-Chorus]
You can't escape, can't escape
All your demons
All you demons
"Watch out, watch out for your lovers"

[Verse 2]
Faster, faster, faster-faster-faster
Faster, I'm late, I'm late
And the hands on my clock
Are starting to shake

We're on the line between the Devil's tits
And we've been driving on 'E'
I'm gonna be wanted for this crime
"Well, at least you're wanted", she'll say

[Chorus]
So ask yourself, before you get in
I know the insurance won't cover this
Are you the rabbit or the headlight?
And is there room in your life for one more breakdown?

[Bridge]
You are an unmarked car
I can't remember where I parked you
But I love you, can't afford you
I'll take a cab to the funeral

Faster, faster, faster-faster-faster
Faster, I'm late, I'm late
And the hands on my clock
Are starting to shake

[Post-Chorus]
You can't escape, can't escape
All your demons
All you demons
"Watch out, watch out for your lovers"

[Chorus]
So ask yourself, before you get in
I know the insurance won't cover this
Are you the rabbit or the headlight?
And is there room in your life for one more breakdown?

Brian Hugh Warner who is better known under his stage name of Marilyn Manson is a musician, painter, actor, multimedia artist, and former music journalist. His stage name is a combination of the names of two American icons, actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder conspiracy convict Charles Manson.

I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best. As long as you know everything’s a lie, you can’t hurt yourself.

—Marylin Manson
