Charles Manson

darkness evokes the very fabric of his frame & gait
 a renegade for what he did to Sharon Tate
 666
 a following with Tex and the rest
 what was going on inside his head

 the walking dead
 tried to blame it on a Beatles song
 yet can't you all get along
 at first you started out as peace then no relief
 to your restless eyes
 did it come at any big enough surprise
 you were blinded by Satan's lies
 Helter Skelter

 you were first a song maker playing the guitar
 but you didn't go far
 falling apart at the seams
 evil twisted schemes
 you tried to run away from the pigs
 those guys with the blue hats that flap
 insanity lived inside of thee

 yet you chose your drug of misery to set you free
 having your choice of women at your disposal
 until you got caught on that day
 now you locked away
 no chance at getting out
 now your free to ***** and pout
 all your life was a no good mystery
 cause you always have something up your sleeve
 now I heard you got married perhaps that's just fake news
 so long Charley as you sing your jail house blues.
