Charlie Manson Blues Lyrics

The seance has just been told
The slaughter has just been sold
To some people who won't get old
Because their skin is getting cold

The room that's in the back
That's where I lost it all
In the room that's in the back
Let's go have a ball

Because I'm slipping into the Charlie Manson blues
I'm a stupid dressed Jesus son
I'm slipping into the Charlie Manson blues
I'm a stupid dressed Jesus son

Head burning up, chain-smoking
Everybody here is choking
Shrunken heads are joking
And newborn skull is broke

And the room that's in the back
Is where I lost it all
In the room that's in the back
Let's go have a ball

Because I'm slipping into the Charlie Manson blues
I'm a stupid dressed Jesus son
I'm slipping into the Charlie Manson blues
I'm a stupid dressed Jesus son

Because I'm slipping into the Charlie Manson blues
I'm a stupid dressed Jesus son
I'm slipping into the Charlie Manson blues
I'm a stupid dressed Jesus son

Whoa, goddamnit!
Shit!
