[Verse 1]
Smell your blood
It's like a carnival, or state fair
Skin is cotton candy
So easy to melt in my mouth

[Refrain]
I don't wanna know
Don't need to know
You got champagne problems
I don't wanna know
Don't need to know
You got champagne problems

[Verse 2]
I need a raincoat for tomorrow
I need a raincoat for tomorrow
It's about how much people cry
When you die
It's not about the storm of tears
That you make when you're alive

[Chorus]
Half-way and one step forward
Past the point of no return
Half-way and one step forward
Past the point of no return

[Verse 3]
Ring all the bells you can ring
There's a crack in everything
That's how the sunlight gets in
Ring all the bells you can ring
There's a crack in everything
That's how the sunlight gets in

[Refrain]
I don't wanna know
Don't need to know
You got champagne problems
I don't wanna know
Don't need to know
You got champagne problems

[Chorus]
Half-way and one step forward
Past the point of no return
Half-way and one step forward
Past the point of no return
Half-way and one step forward
Past the point of no return (I don't wanna know)

[Outro]
Half-way and one step forward (Don't need to know)
(You got champagne problems) Past the point of no return
(I don't wanna know, don't need to know) Half-way and one step forward
(You got champagne problems) Past the point of no return

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
