[Verse 1]
You have eyes that lead me on
And a body that shows me death
Your lips look like they were made
For something else, but they just suck my breath

[Pre-Chorus]
I want your pain to taste why you're ashamed
And I know you're not just what you say to me
And I'm not the only moment you're made of

[Chorus]
You're so sudden and sweet, all legs, knuckle, knees
Head's blown clean off, your mouth's paid off
Fuck me 'til we know it's unsafe
And we'll paint over the evidence

[Verse 2]
I want you wanting me
I want what I see in your eyes
So give me something to be scared of
Don't give me something to satisfy

[Chorus]
You're so sudden and sweet, all legs, knuckle, knees
Head's blown clean off, your mouth's paid off
Fuck me 'til we know it's unsafe
And we'll paint over the evidence

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I want your pain to taste why you're ashamed
And I know you're not just what you say to me
And I'm not the only moment you're made of

[Chorus]
You're so sudden and sweet, all legs, knuckle, knees
Head's blown clean off, your mouth's paid off
Fuck me 'til we know it's unsafe
And we'll paint over the evidence

You're so sudden and sweet, all legs, knuckle, knees
Head's blown clean off, your mouth's paid off
Fuck me 'til we know it's unsafe
And we'll paint over the evidence

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
