The Flaming Lips
Charlie Manson Blues
[Verse 1]
The séance has just been told
The slaughter has just been sold
To some people who won't get old
Because their skin is getting cold
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause 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
[Verse 2]
Head burning up, chain-smoking
Everybody here is choking
Shrunken heads are joking
And newborn skull is broke
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause 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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Whoa, goddammit!
Shit!
