Flaming Lips

Charlie Manson Blues

The seance has just been told

The slaughter has just been sold

To some people who won't get old

'Cause 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

'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

Head burning up, chain-smoking

Everybody here is choking

Shrunken heads are joking

And new-born 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

'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

'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

Whoa, Goddammit

Shit
