"Tourniquet" is the second single by the band Marilyn Manson, from the second studio album "Antichrist Superstar". The image this song conveys is that of the the main character in a world of sorrow and self-pity, prior to his transformation into the Antichrist.

The title track was covered by the cello rock band Rasputina on their EP, The Lost & Found

Music Video

The video is mostly concentrated around an odd humanoid, suggested by the lyrics to be a creation of Manson's, set up on wheels to move. The band is seen in a large variety of grotesque costumes as they perform the song. This is one of three music videos where Manson is seen without makeup.
