Stavo pensando che anni fa ero davvero convinto che Marilyn Manson fosse il re dei rocker satanisti: in realtà mi sono reso conto che è solo un po’ pazzo e gli piace giocare con i trucchi e con le parole. L’ennesima dimostrazione l’ha data con il suo ultimo video ufficiale, The mepistopheles of Los Angeles. dove si trasforma in una sorta di prete blafermo che battezza dei carcerati.

Testo
I don’t know if I can open up
I’ve been opened enough
I don’t know if I can open up
I’m not a birthday present
I’m aggressive regressive
The past is over
And passive scenes so pathetic
[Pre-Chorus:]
I was fated, faithful, fatal
I was fated, faithful, fatal
[Chorus:]
I feel stoned and alone like a heretic
Ready to meet my maker
I feel stoned and alone like a heretic
I’m ready to meet my maker
Lazarus has got no dirt on me
Lazarus has got no dirt on me
And I’ll rise to every occasion
I’m the Mephistopheles of Los Angeles
Of Los Angeles
[Verse 2:]
Don’t know if I can open up
I been opened too much
Double cross glossed over in my path-os
[Pre-Chorus:]
I was fated, faithful, fatal
I was fated, faithful, fatal
[Chorus:]
I feel stoned and alone like a heretic
Ready to meet my maker
I feel stoned and alone like a heretic
I’m ready to meet my maker
Lazarus has got no dirt on me
Lazarus has got no dirt on me
And I’ll rise to every occasion
I’m the Mephistopheles of Los Angeles
Of Los Angeles
[Bridge:]
I was fated, faithful, fatal
I was fated, faithful, fatal
I feel stoned and alone like a heretic
And I’m ready to meet my maker
I feel stoned and alone like a heretic
And I’m ready to meet my maker
[Chorus:]
I feel stoned and alone like a heretic
Ready to meet my maker
I feel stoned and alone like a heretic
I’m ready to meet my maker
Lazarus has got no dirt on me
Lazarus has got no dirt on me
And I’ll rise to every occasion
I’m the Mephistopheles of Los Angeles
Of Los Angeles
