I just like rolling a stone up a hill in Hades
You want to lie with me, you're going to be a liar
Hell-flavored, I've got mood poisoning
It must be something that I hate
I'm just a prison of property
Buckets full of better misery
There's not a word for what I want to do to you
There's not a word for what I want to do to you
(There's not a word for what I want to do to you)
(There's not a word for what I want to do to you)

[Chorus:]
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh

Murder-cute happy-rape
Murder-cute happy, happy, happy-rape
Killer
Murder-cute happy-rape
Murder-cute happy, happy, happy-rape
Killer

I shot your face, but it was as cold as ice
Okay, I'm not his killer
I shot your face, but it was as cold as ice
Okay, I'm not his killer, killer, killer

[Chorus]

One, two, three
One, two, three
One, two, three
One, two, three

(If you get in bed, someone will fall in love
You and me and the devil makes three)

You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
There's not a word for what the devil makes me
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh
You and me and the devil makes three
You and me, uh, uh, uh

(If you get in bed, someone will fall in love
You and me and the devil makes three)

Marilyn Manson

Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), better known by his stage name Marilyn Manson, is an American rock musician and former music journalist known for his controversial stage persona and image as the lead singer of the eponymous band Marilyn Manson. His stage name was formed from juxtaposing the names of two American cultural icons, namely actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder convict Charles Manson as a critical and, simultaneously, laudatory appraisal of America and its peculiar culture. The seemingly outrageous visual and vocal styles he employs, his unique interpretations of familiar songs and the controversy surrounding his lyrics and imagery have led to his very pronounced public appeal. more »
