"'''Luci in the Sky with Demons'''" is the sixth and final track on the 1992 release ''[[The Family Jams]]''. Several lines of lyrics were later reworked for "[[Angel with the Scabbed Wings]]" and "[[Man That You Fear]]", two songs from the band's 1996 album ''[[Antichrist Superstar]]''. The song title was inspired by the Beatles song ''''Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'''', the capital letters here used by both bands spell out L-S-D, commonly believed to be a reference to the drug.

== Lyrics ==
 I'll spread me open, stick to my ribs
 Are all your infants in abortion cribs
 You run like roaches, you try to die
 I know your poison in our space we'll lie
 
 To an obscene god we will dance and spit
 The skin is thin, in our beds we sit
 We take off our rings and we kneel
 Our scabbed knees are so slow to heal
 
 Stretch a little boy hole for looking-glass people
 I don't want to be me,I don't want to fear, no
 Mama's got a scarecrow
 Got to let the corn grow
 A man can't always reap what he sows
 
 Cut, cut, cut in pantomime, mime, mime
 I'll be your devil if you'll admit you're mine
 
 Leave yourself to be ultra-here
 The chill of fall is always crawling near
 Spiders in the flowers never know their smell
 The barbers here know secrets they will never tell
 
 Cut, cut, cut in pantomime, mime, mime
 I'll be your devil if you'll admit you're mine"

== Trivia ==
* The lyrics "I'll spread me open, stuck to my ribs, Are all your infants in abortion cribs" were later reworked and featured in the songs "[[Man That You Fear]]" and "[[Revelation 9]]". They were also featured in a letter from Manson included in the liner notes of the ''[[Refrigerator]]'' demo tape.
* The lyrics "Stretch a little boy hole for looking-glass people, I don't want to be me, I don't want to fear, no Mama's got a scarecrow, Got to let the corn grow, A man can't always reap what he sows" were reworked and featured in the songs "[[Angel with the Scabbed Wings]]" and "[[Scapegoat]]".
* It's possible the lines "Cut, cut, cut in pantomime, mime, mime" were repurposed in "[[I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies]]".
* On some bootlegs this track and "[[Cake and Sodomy]]" are mislabelled as "[[White Trash]]".
* Both the synthesizer and some notes in the intro of the song are a rip off of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by the Beatles.
