Neon Grave

[Verse 1] He was carved from Arizona fire Skin like scripture, eyes of choir Hollywood kissed his veins with gold Then buried him young, beautiful, and cold [Pre-Chorus] And I heard Crowley laugh from the TV screen While Charlie drank truth from a tiger’s spleen “This is the kingdom, baby—take the crown, Then choke on it while the cameras drown” [Chorus] I lit a candle at his neon grave Prayed to sex and synthetic faith River’s smile behind my eyes While Manson hums lullabies In my neon grave— Where heaven OD'd and hell behaves [Verse 2] Chateau Marmont, blood on the rug Sheen on a binge, God's favorite thug Tattooed sins in designer sheets Hollywood’s whore with angel feet [Bridge – dark and funky, whispered] "Do what thou wilt" in a hotel robe Drink the light till it explodes Snort the stars and crush the fame Then sign the pact in a made-up name [Breakdown – distorted, ambient, chaotic] River's ghost in the Viper Room Crowley chants in the dressing room Manson paints with the blood of youth And Charlie laughs, “There is no truth.” [Final Chorus – screamed, hypnotic, cinematic] I sleepwalk down to my neon grave Cigarette lips and Satan’s wave Every icon dies a slave To the plastic god they tried to save Oh, my neon grave— Buried in lights that never forgave
