Revision as of 02:58, 19 May 2007
"Putting Holes in Happiness" is the second track from the 2007 release Eat Me, Drink Me. Written on his own birthday Manson describes the song as been "a romantic-misogynistic-cannibal-gothic-vampire ballad". Similarly he has described the whole album as been "cannibal, consumption, obsessive, violent-sex, romance – but with an upbeat swing."
Music details
Mid-tempo, guitar-orientated, more synths audible than on the album opener. Manson adopts a tortured croon; a guitar solo punctuates the track for almost a minute (2:46 – 3:37).

Lyrics
The sky was blonde like her
it was a day to take the child out back and shoot it.
I could have buried all my dead up in her cemetery head
she had dirty word witchcraft I was in the deep end of her skin.
Then...it seemed like a one car wreck
but I knew it was a horrid tragedy
Ways to make the tiny satisfaction disappear.
Blow out the candles
on all my frankensteins.
At least my death wish will come true.
You taste like Valentines and we cry,
You're like a birthday.
I should have picked the photograph
it lasted longer than you.
Putting holes in happiness
We'll paint the future black if it needs any color.
My death sentence is a story
who'll be digging when you finally let me die?
The romance of our assassination
If you're Bonnie, I'll be your Clyde.
But the grass is greener here and
I can see all of your snakes.
You wear your ruins well
please run away with me to hell
Blow out the candles
on all my frankensteins.
At least my death wish will come true.
You taste like Valentines and we cry,
You're like a birthday.
I should have picked the photograph
it lasted longer than you.
