    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

    I am a VCR
 
    A funeral of dead memory waste

    I'm a VCR funeral
 
    Of dead memory waste

    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

    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

Doppelherz is a twenty-five minute short film directed by Marilyn Manson in 2003, using music composed a year prior, in 2002. The name Doppelherz is German for "double-heart". The DVD comes with the original pressings of Marilyn Manson's 2003 album, The Golden Age of Grotesque, released on May 13, 2003. This pressing of the album is now out of print, and the film has yet to see standalone release.

Production credits

DOPPELHERZ

A film about the Golden Age of Grotesque,
created during the making of this album, and
birth of a new era for its creator. The audio
recording that accompanies this took place
on April 1st, 2002, and remains in its entirety.

This is thought by many to be the most rare
look into the mind of the person we know as
Marilyn Manson. It is also believed (but will
not be confirmed or denied by Manson) that
these words were intended to be his last,
meant only for those who were listening...
particularly his beloved feline familiar Lily
White.

The film offers no explanation, nor needs
one. Many thanks to those who helped make
this, the beginning, not an end, to the most
amazing era of Marilyn Manson. The artists
and friends who were involved enough to be
mentioned are as follows, in no particular
order:

Gottfried Helnwein
Dita Von Teese
Tim Skold
Nicole
Benjamin Palmer
Marilyn Manson
M.W. Gacy
John 5
Ginger Fish
Charles Koutris
Aria Giovanni
Brittany Bowen
Cyril Helnwein
Amy Coulter

Paul L. Chun
