Lyrics

    When will you realize you're already there?
    So watered-down, your feelings have turned to mud.
    "Love everybody" is destroying the value of
    All hate has got me nowhere


    I know I'm slipping, I know I'm slipping, I know I'm slipping away
    I know I'm slipping, I know I'm slipping, I know I'm slipping away


    Oh no, it is everything they said it was
    Oh no, I am all the things they said I was
    Oh no, it is everything they said it was
    Oh no, I am all the things they said I was


    When you you get to heaven you will wish you're in hell
    When you you get to heaven you will wish you're in hell


    When will you realize you're already here?
    You'll thank us now that you have crossed over
    Don't pick the scabs or you will never heal
    The world shudders as the worm gets its wings


    When you get to heaven you will wish you're in hell
    When you get to heaven you will wish you're in hell


    When you get to heaven you will wish you're in hell
    When you get to heaven you will wish you're in hell


    Oh no, it is everything they said it was
    Oh no, I am all the things they said I was
    Oh no, it is everything they said it was
    Oh no, I am all the things they said I was


    Oh no, it is said it was
    Oh no, it is said I was
    Oh no, it is said it was
    Oh no, it is everything they said I was


    Oh no, it is said it was
    Oh no, it is said I was
    Oh no

  • According to photos on his MySpace profile, former Marilyn Manson guitarist Scott Putesky, better known as Daisy Berkowitz, used an Ibanez Iceman to record "Wormboy".[1]
  • The song features a passage containing the same lyrics as heard in "Kinderfeld": "then I got my wings and I never knew it/when I was the worm, thought I wouldn't get through it..."
  • According to Manson's autobiography, this song most incorporated Daisy Berkowitz's musical ideas.
