I cannot say how I became
A fly inside his web
Manson was a charming bloke
I slipped into his ebbHe asked if I was cast away
A loner lost and dazed
I answered him with quite a grin
He shrugged as if unfazedI followed him from town to town
A little dog at heel
And then one day I got a plan
To help the earth to healI bought myself a .45
And ventured to the park
Planning to meet Gerald Ford
To make him hear my barkI aimed the gun right at his head
His service tackled me
"I didn't shoot," I yelled at them
They would not let me beThey dragged me off to die in jail
But not before a trial
When Keyes said I was full of hate
I threw him my denialThe apple struck him in the face
And garnered me a frown
As I delighted at his pain
My lawyer pinned me downThey locked me up as you'd expect
I tried once to escape
They caught me quick and brought me back
My mind was in rough shapeEventually I made parole
And now I'm doing fine
But I will always love Charlie
That lunatic was mine
