[Intro]
I can hear the scream of trumpets
Smell the ash and sulfur
Talons of battalions scratch at the sky
Like black feathers and scorpion eyes

[Verse 1]
I don't attract what I want
I attract what I am
Dead as the bees
Buzzing inside my head

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold my hand and spin around
Ah, hold my hand and spin around
Hold my hand and spin around
This is heaven upside down

[Chorus]
And I tried to look inside you
I ended up looking through you
Now you try to tell me
You're not a ghost

And I tried to look inside you
I ended up looking through you
Now you try to tell me
You're not a ghost

[Interlude]
Ah, ah, oh, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, oh, oh
Ah, ah, oh, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
I don't attract what I want
I attract what I am
Dead as the bee
Buzzing inside my head

[Chorus]
And I tried to look inside you
I ended up looking through you
Now you try to tell me
You're not a ghost, you're not a ghost

[Post-Chorus]
Not a ghost
Not a ghost
Not a ghost
Not a ghost

[Interlude]
Ah, ah, oh, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, oh, oh
Ah, ah, oh, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold my hand, spin around
Hold my hand, spin around
Hold my hand and spin around
This is heaven upside down

Hold my hand, spin around
This is heaven upside down
Hold my hand, spin around
This is heaven upside down

[Chorus]
And I tried to look inside you
I ended up looking through you
Now you try to tell me
You're not a ghost

And I tried to look inside you
I ended up looking through you
Now you try to tell me
You're not a ghost, you're not a ghost

[Post-Chorus]
Not a ghost!
Not a ghost!
Not a ghost!
Not a ghost!

[Outro]
Not a ghost
Not a ghost
Not a ghost
Not a ghost

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
