Manson also mentions the weapon at in several areas of the song, singing, "and it spins around," referencing the spinning of the revolver's cylindrical block, in between his counting the rounds of the revolver from one to six.

Lyrics
She's got her eyes open wide
she's got the dirt and spit of the world
she's got her mouth on the metal
the lips of a scared little girl
I've got an angel in the lobby
he's waiting to put me in line
but I won't ask forgiveness
for my faith has gone dry
She's got her Christian prescriptures
and death has crawled in her ear
like elevator music of songs
that she shouldn't hear
1...2...3 it spins around
4...5...6 we all lay down
some do it fast
some do it better in smaller amounts.
