[Verse 1]
They call her "Bulldozer Speech Demon"
Without distractions of hope
She makes the depression business
Look surprisingly novel

And she's not just royal, allegedly loyal
Not unfaithful but she has no faith in me
Inhale the damage smoothly
Paradise isn't lost, it was hiding all along

[Chorus]
There's the ones that you love
The ones that love you
The ones that make you come
The ones that make you come unglued, yeah

[Interlude]
I can't turn my back on you
When you are walking away

[Verse 2]
The bottomless celebrity scar staged circuses for schoolgirls
Boys are all dressed up like a mediocre suicide omen
Here comes the red carpet grave
Again and again and again, oh man

[Chorus]
There's the ones that you love
The ones that love you
The ones that make you come
The ones that make you come unglued, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]
I can't turn my back on you
When you are walking away
I can't turn my back on you
When you are walking away
Can't turn my back on you
When you are walking away

[Chorus]
There's the ones that you love
The ones that love you
The ones that make you come
The ones that make you come unglued, yeah

There's the ones that you love
The ones that love you
The ones that make you come
The ones that make you come unglued, yeah

[Bridge]
It's easy to beat the system
Had a hard time beating the symptoms
Had a hard time beating the symptoms

[Outro]
I can't turn my back on you
Can't turn my back on you
I can't turn my back on you
When you are walking away

Here comes the red carpet grave
Again and again and again
Here comes the red carpet grave
Again and again and again, oh man

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
