Are You the Rabbit?

"Are You the Rabbit?" is the eighth track from the 2007 release Eat Me, Drink Me. Manson is said to sing of his search in a maze of steel to find a human rabbit who has seduced him.

Music details

A potential live favorite, rhythm driven metal harking back to the Golden Age of Grotesque as opposed to the other tracks that are – perhaps unsurprisingly given the albums both have the same mixer (Sean Beavan) – closer to Mechanical Animals in sound. The heaviest song on the album.

Trivia

This song was initially listed on Manson's website as 'Are You the Rabbi?'. When attention was drawn to this humorous typo the title was changed to the correct 'Are You the Rabbit?'.

The song features lines from Marilyn Manson's 2003 short film Doppelherz

Lyrics

    I’m a kick stand in your mouth
    And I’m the tounge’s slamming on the brakes
    Pull the choke in
    Pull the choke in
    As hard as it will take
    All your pictures are getting dirty
    I don’t want anyone else’s 
    Hand on my gears
    And I’ll choke on
    All the diamonds
    Like a vulture on your face
    

    So ask yourself before you get in
    I know the insurance won’t cover this
    Are you the rabbit
    Or the headlight
    And is there
    Room in your life
    For one more breakdown?
    

    Faster, faster
    Faster, faster, faster
    Faster, faster, faster
    I’m late, I’m late
    I’m late
    And the hands on my clock
    Are starting to shake
    

    We’re on the line between
    The devil’s tits
    And we’ve been driving on E
    I’m going to be wanted for this crime
    "Well, at least you’re wanted"
    She’ll say
    

    So ask yourself before you get in
    I know the insurance won’t cover this
    Are you the rabbit
    Or the headlight
    And is there
    Room in your life
    For one more breakdown?
    

    You can’t escape
    Can’t escape
    All your demons
    All you demons
    "Watch out, watch out
    For your lovers"
    

    So ask yourself before you get in
    I know the insurance won’t cover this
    Are you the rabbit
    Or the headlight
    And is there
    Room in your life
    For one more breakdown?
    

    You are an unmarked car
    I can’t remember where I parked you
    But I love you
    Can’t afford you
    I’ll take a cab to the funeral 
    

    Faster, faster
    Faster, faster, faster
    Faster, faster, faster
    I’m late, I’m late
    I’m late
    And the hands on my clock
    Are starting to shake
    

    So ask yourself before you get in
    I know the insurance won’t cover this
    Are you the rabbit
    Or the headlight
    And is there
    Room in your life
    For one more breakdown?
    

    You can’t escape
    Can’t escape
    All your demons
    All you demons
    "Watch out, watch out
    For your lovers"
    

    So ask yourself before you get in
    I know the insurance won’t cover this
    Are you the rabbit
    Or the headlight
    And is there
    Room in your life
    For one more breakdown?
    

    Room in your life
    For one more breakdown
