"Are You the Rabbit?" is the eighth track from the 2007 release Eat Me, Drink Me.
Music details[edit]
A potential live favorite, rhythm driven metal harking back to the The Golden Age of Grotesque as opposed to the other tracks that are closer to Mechanical Animals in sound (perhaps unsurprisingly given that the albums both have the same mixer, Sean Beavan). Several sections of "Are You the Rabbit?" also seem to mirror the musical structure of the Danzig song "She Rides".

Lyrics[edit]
I'm a kick stand in your mouth
and I'm the tongue slamming on the brakes
pull the choke in
pull the choke in
as hard as it will take.
All your pictures are getting dirty
I don't want anyone else's
hand on my gears
And I'll choke on
all the diamonds
like a vulture on your face
So ask yourself before you get in
I know the insurance won't cover this
Are you the rabbit
or the headlight
and is there
room in your life for one more breakdown?
You can't escape
Can't escape
all your demons
All you demons
"Watch out, watch out
for your lovers"
Faster, faster
faster-faster-faster
faster-faster-faster
I'm late, I'm late
And the hands on my clock
are starting to shake
We're on the line between
the devil's tits
and we've been driving on E.
I'm going to be wanted for this crime
"Well, at least you’re wanted"
She'll say
So ask yourself before you get in
I know the insurance won't cover this
Are you the rabbit
or the headlight
and is there
room in your life for one more breakdown?
You are an unmarked car
I can't remember where I parked you
but I love you
can't afford you
I'll take a cab to the funeral.
Faster, faster, faster-faster-faster
Faster-faster-faster
I'm late, I'm late
And the hands on my clock
are starting to shake.
You can't escape
Can't escape
all your demons
All you demons
"Watch out, watch out
for your lovers"
So ask yourself before you get in
I know the insurance won't cover this
Are you the rabbit
or the headlight
and is there
room in your life for one more breakdown?
Trivia[edit]
- The lines "I am a kickstand in your mouth" and "The insurance won't cover this" were first used in the vocal track of the short film Doppelherz, which was recorded on April 1, 2002. They were reworked as "I'm a kick stand in your mouth" and "I know the insurance won't cover this" respectively.
- The song was initially listed on Marilyn Manson's website as "Are You the Rabbi?". When attention was drawn to this humorous typo the title was changed to the correct "Are You the Rabbit?".
