[Verse]
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

[Refrain]
Eat me, drink me
This is only a game
This is only a game

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
But then our star rushes in
Feeling like a child and looking like a woman
She's been forecast with an attempt to kill herself
But the ending didn't test well

[Refrain]
Eat me, drink me
This is only a game

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
But then our star rushes in
Feeling like a child and looking like a woman
She's been forecast with an attempt to kill herself
But the ending didn't test well

[Refrain]
Eat me, drink me
This is only a game
This is only a game

Eat me, drink me
This is only a game
This is only a game

[Bridge]
So now, I'm picking my skin and my scales
I see my horror mirrored in your sundown of a blank stare
I see my horror mirrored in your sundown of a blank stare

[Chorus]
But then our star rushes in
Feeling like a child and looking like a woman
She's been forecast with an attempt to kill herself
But the ending didn't test well
She's been forecast with an attempt to kill herself
But the ending didn't test well

She's been forecast with an attempt to kill herself
But the ending didn't test well
She's been forecast with an attempt to kill herself
But the ending didn't test well

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
