Lyrics[edit]
My pilot light has flickered out
You've knocked me off the hook
The person you are trying to reach is no longer here
I'm not really tall, dark and handsome
I just look that way
I'm a canvas that bleeds
And I'm painted with fingers
Childish pictures
Of you that still linger
Bury you're wasted into the moon
Hoping that it sinks to the earth soon
Bury you're wasted into the moon
I hope that it sinks into the earth soon
My pilot light has flickered out
You've knocked me off the hook
The person you are trying to reach is no longer here
I'm a canvas that bleeds
And I'm painted with fingers
Childish pictures of you that still linger
I am a VCR
A funeral of dead memory waste
I'm a VCR
A funeral of dead memory waste
You can see it on my face
I'm a VCR funeral
Of dead memory waste
You can see it on my face
My smile is a chain link fence
I dare not frown
For fear of what comes out
My smile is a chain link fence
And I dare not frown for fear of what comes out
Sing a song kitty
Sing it
Sing it kitty
Sing it
Some people don't think that Lily
Is smart enough to understand what I'm thinking
But I know if she could she would kill
Everybody that I hate, 'cause she loves me
'Cause I took care of her since she was a little baby
I am a VCR funeral of dead memory waste
You can see it in my face
As drink crawls down the esophagus staircase
Into my bowels of hell
Naked like clown faces all smeared clean
Naked like clown faces all smeared clean in the spotlight
Naked like clown faces all smeared clean in the spotlight
I'm a VCR funeral of dead memory waste you can see it on my face
Dead memory waste
Kill me, kill everyone, you can let them all die
The only thing in this world that does not die is money
You can kill me, you can kill them, you can let everyone die
The only thing in this world that does not die is money
You can kill me, you can kill them, you can let everyone die
The only thing immortal in this world is money
You can kill me, you can kill them, you can let everything die
The only thing immortal in this world is money
The only thing immoral in this world is money
The only thing oral in this world is money
The only thing in this is money
The only thing is ney
The
Ney
The
The only thing immortal in this world is money
The person you are trying to reach is no longer here
You have knocked me off the hook
The person you are trying to reach is no longer here
You have knocked me off the hook
You are afraid that you are no equal
While you are spending my money
You are afraid you are no equal while you are spending my money
You can kill me, you can kill them, you can let everyone die
The only thing immortal in this world is money
Why would I want to be equal with anyone?
You think you're not equal while you're spending my money
Why would I want to be equal with anyone?
Why would I want to be equal with anyone?
To be equal you have to add or subtract
And I have never liked math
To be equal you have to add or subtract
And I have never liked math
You are recognizable, as just another part in a vast machine
You are recognizable, as just another part in a vast machine
The only thing immortal in this world is money
The only thing original in this world is the way we destroy things
Everything has already been created
So we can only deal with new ways of destroying them
Everything has already been created
So we can only think of new ways of destroying them

I keep watering a dead flower
Keep watering a dead flower
Keep watering the dead flower
Keep watering a dead flower
Keep watering a dead flower
Keep watering a dead flower

Everything I make is a piece of plant
And some day it could have been a flower
And the things that are flowers are dead
Till I keep watering a dead flower
Keep watering a dead flower
There's not enough of me to make a bouquet
There's not enough of me to make a bouquet
Stop watering the dead flower

As you are listening
I want you to know
That you are nothing
But a screen that I will project
My images of sorrow, pain and sex upon
Although there is no difference between the three
As you are listening
I want you to know
That you are nothing
But a screen that I will project
My images of sorrow, pain and sex upon
Although there is no difference between the three
As you are listening I want you to know that you are only a screen
That I project my images of sorrow, pain and suffering and sex upon
Although there is no difference between the three and the one
As you are listening I want you to know that you are nothing but a screen
That I project my images of suffering, sorrow, pain, sex
And the brief glimmer of happiness I find in the misery
Of those who are sitting in the theatre of which this screen exists
I want you to know as you are listening
That you are nothing but a screen
That I project my images of sorrow, pain, suffering, sex
And the brief glimpse of happiness I get from the misery
Of those who sit in the theatre that this screen exists will feel while they listen
The brief glimpse of happiness that I feel as
Those who sit in the theatre that this screen exists will feel as they listen
This isn't about music
This is about the difference between you and me

This is about the difference between you and me
This isn't about music
This is about the difference between you and me
This isn't about music
This is about the difference between you and me
This isn't about music
This is about the difference between you and me
I am a birthday cake that we light up, blow out, cut apart and forget

Trivia[edit]
- Because of the massive amount of lyrics throughout the twenty-five minute film, many lines were subject to recycling for subsequent works. Lyrics were reworked into "(s)AINT" ("You're sell by date has expired"), "Slutgarden" ("I am a VCR / A funeral of dead memory waste" and "Love your enemy because love is the enemy"), "Vodevil" ("I want downloadable suicide"), "Are You the Rabbit?" ("I am a kickstand in your mouth" and "The insurance won't cover this") and "Devour" ("My pain is not ashamed to repeat itself").
- The song "Thaeter" is played in a continuous loop throughout the narration.
- " It’s a stream of consciousness, absinthe fueled rant that may have ended up being a suicide note the way I was going this particular night, because I had received a bunch of bad news this day. I had everyone leave the room and I just wanted to say what I wanted to say. We created images to go with it. I played it for the record company, and it’s 35 minutes long or something like that. Ten minutes into it, I’d say, “Yeah, that’s the single,” but there was no music. It was just me talking. Then they would kind of laugh, “Oh, that’s funny, Manson, but really...” and I’d just say, “That’s really it.” At a couple points during the making of the record, between my manager and the record company, they wanted to put the whole thing to an end and probably send me to rehab for mental intervention, literally."
