This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion
This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion

You've got your
Hell's teeth
Smiling at you
It keeps your brain safe
As it all eats at your face
And don't worry
We'll 'blur it out'
And no one
Ever will know
Oh
No, oh oh oh

This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion
This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion

SLO-MO-TION

Pump in the laughter
Of dead-audience applause
And TEENAGE RAPE candi-dance
I think we got ourselves
A 'real hit'

Don't we wish
That we could feel something
More than
Hate and morbid panic
Morbid panic
And morbid panic

This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion
This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion

And I'm the host with Vaseline
I hide behind bulletproof glass
And I can feel your tits
With my brand new camera
Equipped with a flash
Fast-food-nude
I hate you all
And somehow
You find me
Incredibly charming
(incredibly charming)
Slow-mo-tion
(incredibly charming)
This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion

Marilyn Manson

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
