MUSIC
                                By Charles Manson
     
     The following are lyrics to some of Manson's songs.  Musician Neil
     Young once said of Manson:  "I met Manson through Dennis Wilson.  He
     wanted to make records.  He wanted me to introduce him to Mo Ostin at
     Reprise.  He had this kind of music that nobody else was doing.  He
     would sit down with a guitar and start playing and making up stuff,
     different every time, it just kept comin' out, comin' out, comin' out.
     Then he would stop and you would never hear that one again. Musically,
     I thought he was very unique.  I thought he really had something
     crazy, something great.  He was like a living poet."

     NEVER SAY NEVER TO ALWAYS
     
     Always is always forever
     As one is one is one
     Inside yourself for your father
     All is none all is none all is none
     It's time to drop all from behind us
     The illusion has been just a dream
     The Valley of Death may not find us
     Now as then on a sunshine beam
     So bring only your perfection
     For then life will surely be
     No cold no fear no hunger
     You can see you can see you can see

     CEASE TO EXIST
     
     Pretty girl, pretty, pretty girl
     Cease to Exist
     Just come and say you love me
     Give up your world
     C'mon you can see
     I'm your kind, I'm your kind
     You can see
     Walk on, walk on
     I love you pretty girl
     My life is yours and
     You can have my world
     Never had a lesson
     I ever learned
     But I know we all get our turn
     I love you
     Submission is a gift
     Go on, give it to your brother
     Love and understanding is for one another
     I'm your kind, I'm your kind
     I'm your mind
     I'm your brother
     I never had a lesson I ever learned
     But I know we all get our turn
     And I love you
     Never learned not to love you
     I never learned

     MECHANICAL MAN
     
     I am a mechanical man, a mechanical man
     And I do the best I can
     Because I have my Family
     I am a mechanical boy
     I am my mother's toy
     And I play in the backyard sometimes
     I am a mechanical boy
     It's an illusion
     Postulated, mocked up
     Through confusion
     Confusion, it's an illusion
     Utter confusion
     Live on in your illusion
     That won't wear out
     I had a little monkey
     And I sent him to the country
     And I fed him ginger bread
     Along came a choo choo
     And knocked my monkey koo koo
     And now my monkey's dead
     You're so mechanical and you go and lay down
     And I wonder how
     A brown cow could say...

     SICK CITY
     
     Sick city, yeah, restless people
     From the sick city burnt their houses down
     To make the sky look pretty
     What can I do, I'm just a person
     This is the line we always seem to hear
     You just sit, things get worse
     And watch TV and drink your beer
     Walking all alone
     Not going anywhere
     Nobody seemed to care
     Restless as the wind
     This town is killing me
     Got to put an end to this restless misery
     I'm just one of those restless people
     Can never seem to be satisfied
     With living in this sick old sick old
     Sick city
     It may be too late for me to say goodbye
     And I might be too late
     To watch this sick old city die
     Going on the road
     Yeah I'm gonna try
     To say sick city so long farewell
     And die

     EYES OF A DREAMER
     
     It's all in the eyes of a dreamer
     It's all in the eyes of a man
     All the things we've done in life
     And all the things we've planned
     Is the world as sad as it seems?
     Where are men's hopes?
     Where are men's dreams?
     In the eyes of a dreamer
     In the eyes of a man
     All the songs have been sung
     All the saints have been hung
     The wars and cries have been wailed
     All the people have been jailed
     In the eyes of a dreamer
     In the eyes of a man
     And you are the man

     MAN'S SON
     
     Now I'm lookin' right here, inside myself
     I've got my eyes closed
     I'm looking backward through my brain
     Thinkin' about what I'm thinkin' about
     Wonderin' if there is an insane
     Talkin' about a whisper
     Whisperin' in my mind
     Talkin' about forever
     Beyond illusions of time
     Talkin' about forever and ever and ever
     Beyond all illusions
     Faith so hard is mine
     And I was just a man's son
     And I was any old one
     Of a million million million
       in the minds of all I see
     
     Infinity, infinity
     
     Noise has come to my ears
     From some television
     In the skies of mind
     Televisions in the sky of blind
     Television reruns and reruns and reruns
     All the time
     World is just in my lonesome
       child's mind, all the time
     If you had no time
     You'd have to be right now
     The world's spinning around in space
     Spinning around on my face
     Take the place of a race
     That's already been won
     Things are in perfection
       when you see
     Things are in perfection
       soul to see
     All is all and everything you
       could love or be
     All is now and now is all
       in my heart can you see
