I am the face of piss and shit and sugar
I do a crooked little dance with my funny little monkey
What I want what I want is just your children
I hate what I have become to escape what I hated being
Calliopenis envy from your daddy
You're not gonna hear what he don't want to hear
What I say disgusts him
He wants to be me and that scares him
"Let's do a funny little dance with my funny little monkey"
The black keys
Here is my real head, here is my real real head
I wear this fucking mask because you cannot handle me
Here is my real head
They try to blink me not to think me
Don't want to bring me out
I am the rotten teeth, my fists are lined with suckers
My prison skin's an eyesore-mirror-sketch-pad
I am your son
Your dad
Your fag
I am your fad
I do a crooked little dance with my funny little monkey
What I want what I want is just your children
I hate what I have become to escape what I hated being
Calliopenis envy from your daddy
You're not gonna hear what he don't want to hear
What I say disgusts him
He wants to be me and that scares him
"Let's do a funny little dance with my funny little monkey"
The black keys
Here is my real head, here is my real real head
I wear this fucking mask because you cannot handle me
Here is my real head
They try to blink me not to think me
Don't want to bring me out
I am the rotten teeth, my fists are lined with suckers
My prison skin's an eyesore-mirror-sketch-pad
I am your son
Your dad
Your fag
I am your fad

does anyone know what "my prison skin's an eyesore-mirror-sketch-pad" means? i love it but i have know idea what it's saying....
That's a reference to Manson's scarification. Plainly stated: He carves on his body to give himself scars.<br /> <br /> "My prison skin's an eyesore-"<br /> He hates what he sees when he sees himself.<br /> "-mirror-"<br /> It shows others what he sees when he . . .<br /> "sketchpad."<br /> . . . cuts himself. He wrote in his autobiography that, to him, nothing is more attractive to him than beauty disfigured (paraphrased).<br /> <br /> In summary, I think the song is about how he shows one thing and is something else. What he shows is hated by many (parents for example) but loved by others (their kids). But, despite it all, he is actually something that even fans could not even handle. Maybe an unintentional foreshadowing of his celebrity days, i.e., Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, etc, which turned him into a household name (because maybe he began to remove the mask?).
