"'''If I Was Your Vampire'''" is the first track on the 2007 release ''[[Eat Me, Drink Me]]''. The song was inspired by an experience in Manson's life where he was finally uplifted by a close friend's morbid gesture of devotion. "She picked up a butcher's knife and said, 'Here, you can stab me,'" he says. "When someone was willing to drown with me, I really didn't want to drown anymore," said Manson. Manson has also called it "the new 'Bela Lugosi's Dead'. It's the all-time gothic anthem."
 
  
In an interview with ''Revolver'' magazine, Manson said, "It’s the centerpiece of the album, I woke up Christmas Day and wrote it. It's kind of my death wish fantasy."

Begins with a slow and oppressive melody which leads into choruses that saturate the listener with the juxtaposition of screaming vocals against desolate guitar. From here just when one thinks the song is over it launches into an outro of the mid-section repeated.

==Lyrics==
+
    6 a.m. Christmas morning.
+
    No shadows,
+
    no reflections here.
+
    Lying cheek to cheek
+
    in your cold embrace
+
   
+
    So soft and so tragic
+
    as a slaughterhouse.
+
    You press the knife against your heart.
+
    And say that,
+
    "I love you, so much you must kill me now."
+
    And say that,
+
    I love you
+
    so much
+
    you must kill me now.
+
   
+
    If I was your vampire,
+
    Certain as the moon,
+
    instead of killing time, we'll have each other
+
    until the sun.
+
    If I was your vampire
+
    death waits for no one.
+
    Hold my hands
+
    across your face,
+
    because I think
+
    our time has come.
+
   
+
    Digging your smile apart
+
    with my spade tongue
+
    The hole is where the heart is.
+
    We built this tomb together,
+
    and I won't fill it alone.
+
    beyond the pale everything is black
+
    no turning back.
+
+
    If I was your vampire,
+
    Certain as the moon,
+
    instead of killing time,
+

+
    Blood-stained sheets
+
    in the shape of your heart,

    this is where it starts...
+
    Blood-stained sheets

    This is where it will end.
+
    Here comes the moon again.
+
   
+
    6:19 and I know I'm ready
+
    Drive me off the mountain.
+
    You'll burn, I'll eat your ashes
+
    The impossible wheels seducing
+
    our corpse
+
   
+
    If I was your vampire,
+
    Certain as the moon,

    instead of killing time, we'll have each other

==Trivia==
 
==Trivia==
* Manson stated at his April 2007 press conference in Paris that If I Was Your Vampire will be the opening song on the forthcoming [[Rape of the World Summer European Tour|European tour]].
+
* "Cake and Sodomy" was not played completely because of faulty equipment. This problem was also encountered [[1997/08/23 Stuttgart, Germany|the following day]].
* Manson was inspired to use the term 'Vampire' after watching The Hunger, a 1983 film starring [[David Bowie]].
+
 
*This is one of two songs Manson wrote on Christmas day, the other being "[[Into the Fire]]" two years later.
+
==References==
*The song's [[List of working titles for Marilyn Manson material|working title]] was "I'm Not Your Vampire".
+
<references/>
* It can be heard in the trailers for the film ''Underworld: Rise of the Lycans'' and the film adaption of the video game ''Max Payne''.
+
* After the return of Twiggy this was the only song he learnt from the album ''Eat Me, Drink Me'', hence the lack of any songs from that album (with the exception of "If I Was Your Vampire" in 2009) after his return in 2008.
