Marilyn Manson - WE ARE CHAOS Album Lyrics

RED BLACK AND BLUE

I can stick a needle in the horror and fix your blindness
(Your blindness, see I)
See, I was a snake
But I didn't realize that you could walk on water (I didn't)
Without legs
(Walk on water without legs)
Now I'm a bee, the king bee
And I will destroy every flower (I will destroy every flower)
And I will cover the earth in honey (cover the earth in honey)
And everyone will eat themselves
(And everyone will eat themselves)
My eyes are mirrors
All I can see are gods on the left
And demons on the right

Set fire to the tree of life
Not for death
Just to watch the suffering
Get high on the smoke and dance
In the ashes

This arrangement is deranged
Imagine us engaged in flames
This arrangement is deranged
Imagine us engaged in flames

Red, black and I'm blue
Red, black and I'm blue
Red, black and I'm blue
Red
Black
And I'm blue

Am I garbage or God?
Am I garbage or God?
Church or a trashcan?
Either way you're a waste of my time

This arrangement is deranged (deranged)
Imagine us engaged in flames
This arrangement is deranged
Imagine us engaged in flames

Heroes destroy
Murder without a choice
Just linear f*cking lines

('Cause I'm) Red, black and I'm blue
Red, black and I'm blue

Am I garbage or God?
Am I garbage or God?
Church or a trashcan?
Either way you're a waste of my time
Am I garbage or God?
Am I garbage or God?
Church or a trashcan?
Either way you're a waste of my time

Red, black and I'm blue

Sick-sick-sick of you
And all your attitudes
And I'm sick-sick-sick of you
Sick-sick-sick of you
And all your attitudes
And I'm sick from you
And I'm sick from you

'Cause I'm red, black, blue
(Am I garbage or God? Am I garbage or God?)
(Church or a trashcan?)
I'm red, black and I'm blue
(Either way you're a waste of my time)
I'm red, black and I'm blue
(Am I garbage or God? Am I garbage or God?)
(Church or a trashcan?)
Red, black and I'm blue
(Either way you're a waste of my time)
I'm red, black and I'm blue

WE ARE CHAOS

If you say that we're ill
Give us your pill
Hope we'll just go away
But once you've inhaled death
Everything else is perfume

Maybe I'm just a mystery
I could end up your misery
Maybe I'm just a mystery
I could end up your misery

In the end we all end up in a garbage dump
But I'll be the one that's holding your hand

We are sick, f*cked up and complicated
We are chaos, we can't be cured
We are sick, f*cked up and complicated
We are chaos, we can't be cured

Maybe I'm just a mystery
I could be your misery
Maybe I'm just a mystery

Marry with the left hand
So far, so far from the maddening crowd

We are sick, f*cked up and complicated
We are chaos, we can't be cured
We are sick, f*cked up and complicated
We are chaos, we can't be cured

Am I a man or a show, or moment
The man in the moon
Or a man of all seasons
Will I be in at the kill
With you?

We are sick, f*cked up and complicated
We are chaos, we can't be cured
We are sick, f*cked up and complicated
We are chaos, we can't be cured

We are sick, f*cked up and complicated
We are chaos, we can't be cured
We are sick, f*cked up and complicated
We are chaos, we can't be cured

We are sick

DON'T CHASE THE DEAD

Angels in exile
Here lies the dead
An ice cream truck in your inferno

Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you

If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
No tomorrow

I got my tickets to Hell
I know you so well
And I know you wanna be there too

If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
No tomorrow

Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you

If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow
If tonight lasts forever
It won't matter if there's no tomorrow

Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you
Don't chase the dead
Or they'll end up chasing you

PAINT YOU WITH MY LOVE

Honky-tonk devils glitter in
Like royal rats in kitten skin
And all the blondes drop their panties and cry
To the father's first lullaby

So let me paint you with my love
With my love, with my love

To kill the man behind the crowd
Would be viewed as amateur
Because the king's invisible
The king's invisible
And death is a profession

So let me paint you with my love
With my love, with my love

It's not a life sentence
But a death dream for you
It's not a life sentence
But a death dream for you
It's not a life sentence
But a death dream for you
It's not a life sentence
But a death dream for you
It's not a life sentence
But a death dream for you

HALF-WAY & ONE STEP FORWARD

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

Don't wanna know
Don't need to know
You got champagne problems
Don't wanna know
Don't need to know
You got champagne problems

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

Half-way and one step forward
Past the points of no return
Half-way and one step forward
Past the points of no return

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

Don't wanna know
Don't need to know
You got champagne problems
Don't wanna know
Don't need to know
You got champagne problems

Half-way and one step forward
Past the points of no return
Half-way and one step forward
Past the points of no return

Half-way and one step forward
Past the points of no return

Don't wanna know (half-way and one step forward)
Don't need to know (past the points of no return)
You got champagne problems (half-way and one step forward)
Don't wanna know (half-way and one step forward)
Don't need to know (past the points of no return)
You got champagne problems (half-way and one step forward)
Past the points of no return

INFINITE DARKNESS

My dirty dreams are filled with ghosts
Drowning in a shallow puddle
My muck and mud is thicker than the quickest of my demons

Fast and ghastly
Fast and ghastly
Fast and ghastly
And unforgiving

Someone's gonna die soon
Don't get in the way
You're not the hero
You're not the hero

You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive

First class on the astral plane
Just 'cause you're famous doesn't mean you're worth anything
In this world or the next one or the one before

'Cause I'm not forgiving
Not forgiving (said I'm not forgiving)
Not forgiving (said I'm not forgiving)
I'm fast and ghastly (fast and ghastly)

Someone's gonna die soon
Don't get in the way
You're not the hero
Not the hero

You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive

Black is real, you can't hide
Hearts are the darkest
When you see without the sun
Black is real, you can't hide
Hearts are the darkest
When you see without the sun

You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead

Black is real, you can't hide
Hearts are the darkest
When you see without the sun
Black is real, you can't hide
Hearts are the darkest
When you see without the sun

You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead

PERFUME

Get behind me
Get behind me
Get behind me, Satan
Get behind me
Get behind me
Get behind me, Satan

So you wear your damage on your sleeve
But don't worry
It's all just tongue and cheek, yeah
Not a victim of fashion
More fascist than vogue
'Cause victim is chic
You're as famous as your pain
Victim is chic, yeah

If you conjure the devil
You better make sure
You got a bed for him to sleep in
If you conjure the devil
You better make sure
You got a bed for him to sleep in

Buckshot, glitter perfume
Is something you never want to wear
In your hair will be brains
And this shit won't be the same

Get behind me
Get behind me
Get behind me, Satan (and this shit won't be the same)

If you conjure the devil
You better make sure
You got a bed for him to sleep in
If you conjure the devil
You better make sure
You got a bed for him to sleep in

Get behind me
Get behind me
Get behind me, Satan

Am I Superman?
Am I superstitious?
Am I Superman?
Am I superstitious?
Am I Superman?
Am I superstitious?
Am I Superman?
Am I superstitious?

Get behind me
Get behind me
Get behind me, Satan

KEEP MY HEAD TOGETHER

Do we get what we deserve?
Or do we deserve what we get?
Steal from the last, f*ck the past
Here is your present, let's take the future
Do we get what we deserve?
Or do we deserve what we get?
Steal from the last, f*ck the past
Here is your present, let's take the future

Don't try changing someone else
You'll just end up changing yourself
I keep my head together
Better keep your head together

You hand me a shovel and expect me to dig my own grave
You hand me a shovel and expect me to dig my own grave

Don't try changing someone else
You'll just end up changing yourself
I keep my head together
Better keep your head together

I f*ckin' love you
I love f*ckin' you
I eat glass
And I spit diamonds
I f*ckin' love you
I love f*ckin' you
I eat glass
And I spit diamonds
I f*ckin' love you
I love f*ckin' you
I eat glass
And I spit diamonds

Don't try changing someone else
You'll just end up changing yourself
I keep my head together
Better keep your head together

Keep my head together
Keep my head together
Keep my head together

SOLVE COAGULA

You are the one
Tore off both your arms
Gouged out your eyes
And ripped out your own tongue
So listen

I'm not special, I'm just broken
And I don't wanna be fixed

No one else I
No one else I
Wanna be like
So I stayed the same
Like nobody else

So you think you can sing or clap
Well, all you need is an ear
So listen

I'm not special, I'm just broken
And I don't wanna be fixed

No one else I
No one else I
Wanna be like
So I stayed the same
Like nobody else
No one else I
No one else I
Wanna be like
So I stayed the same
Like nobody else

No one else I
No one else I
Wanna be like
So I stayed the same
Like nobody else
No one else I
No one else I
Wanna be like
So I stayed the same
Like nobody else

I'm not special, I'm just
Broken and I don't wanna be fixed
I'm not special, I'm just
Broken and I don't wanna be fixed
I'm not special, I'm just
Broken and I don't wanna be fixed
I'm not special, I'm just
Broken and I don't wanna be fixed
I'm not special, I'm just
Broken and I don't wanna be fixed

BROKEN NEEDLE

So close your eyes
It's only a dream
When you wake up
Rinse off all this pain
And your makeup
Stare into the mirror
Apples are always something to fear

Are you alright?
'Cause I'm not okay
All of these lies
Are not worth fighting for
Are you alright?
'Cause I'm not okay
All of these lies
Are not worth fighting for

I am a needle
Dig in your grooves
Scratch you up
Then I'll put you away
I am a needle
Dig in your grooves
Scratch you up
Then I'll put you away

It won't be death
But a deep sleep
A curse of a hundred years
The princess will fall (the princess will fall)
The princess will fall
The princess will fall into a slumber for a century

Are you alright?
'Cause I'm not okay
All of these lies
Are not worth fighting for
Are you alright?
'Cause I'm not okay
All of these lies
Are not worth fighting for
(Not worth fighting for)
(Fighting for)
(Fighting for)

I am a needle
Dig in your grooves
Scratch you up
Then I'll put you away
I am a needle
Dig in your grooves
Scratch you up
Then I'll put you away

I'll never ever play you again
I'll never ever play you again
I'll never ever play you again
Then I'll put you away
I'll never ever play you again
Then I'll put you away
I'll never ever play you again
Then I'll put you away
I'll never ever play you again
Then I'll put you away
I'll never ever play you again
Then I'll put you away
I'll never ever play you again
Then I'll put you away
Then I'll put you away
Then I'll put you away
I'll never ever play you again
