Look what came, in my yard today
Came around, in the usual way
Come inside, where we can play
Dont mind me,

Paper boy, he wont be late
Come to join, this masquerade
Dont mind me,
Im just that way
Im just that way
You'll be pushin daisies
Pushin daisies
Pushin daisies my friend
Yes you will
Not Disappearing (7:12)

Down and out and Im feelin full of doubt
Bout this carnival Im living
As day by day, I walk the streets
I make my way, I keep believin
I feel proud,
I feel proud,
I feel proud,
Cause Im not disappearing.
The time has come, as I turn to face the rising sun
for the first time really seeing
As one by one I'll do the things
Ive left undone ,I keep believin
I feel proud,
I feel proud,
I feel proud,
Cause Im not disappearing
So here I stand, before you with my heart in hand
And a soul in need of healing
Im livin proof that theres a pure and higher truth
I keep believin
I feel proud,
I feel proud,
I feel proud,
Cause Im not disappearing
What You Said (6:27)
Copyright Manny Charlton (MCB)
Im not dead Im only dreamin
But Im dreaming that Im dead
Thoughts of you come gently creeping
And I remember what you said
Im not lost Im only frightened
When Im alone I get so scared
That it doesnt even hurt much
When I remember what you said
You said that you dont need me
Gonna pack your bags and leave me
If you go I just wont make it
Rip out my heart and take it
Look at me Im only dancin
Always out here on the edge
My feelings numb to innuendo
And I remember what you said
Im not saying Im so righteous
But my resistance can be low
Always fall into temptation
And I remember what you said
You said that you dont need me
Gonna pack your bags and leave me
If you go I just wont make it
Rip out my heart and take it
Inside My Soul (6:26)

I came back down to my own little world today
I was deep inside my mind
I came back down to my own little world today
Thought I'd left my past behind
I looked deep down inside my soul today
Ive seen a lot friends I thought were gone
I looked deep down inside my soul today
Yeah I thought my past was gone
I see them, I see them, I see them
Deep inside my soul
Inside my soul, Inside my soul, Inside my soul,
They will come to me
I looked deep down inside my heart today
Ive seen a lot of loves Ive had grown cold
I looked deep down inside my heart today
Yeah I thought my love was gone
I see them I see them I see them
Deep inside my soul
Inside my soul, Inside my soul, Inside my soul,
They will come to me
The Leaving (5:02)
Copyright Manny Charlton (MCB)
She wants the wind in her hair
Sun on her face
Shes leavin ,leaving this place
Shes got a ticket to ride
Shes gonna run for her life
Down that wide open road, out of this place
She dont give any reason
She doesnt have to tell
She dont give any reason
She doesnt have to tell
She dont wanna go back
To that secret room
No more chains, no more pain
She wants the rain on her face
She got to wash herself clean
No more dreams
She dont give any reason
She doesnt have to tell
She dont give any reason
She doesnt have to tell
She will never look back
Never turned to stone
Shes leaving, Leaving home
Leaving home, Leaving home
Twisted (8:41)

It dont matter what I do
My momma says she loves me
No matter how high I might rise
You still think your above me
It don't matter what I say
My daddy aint impressed yet
You never come to nothing son
Because your minds been twisted
Im twisted
Lord my minds been twisted
Lord my minds been twisted
Been around the block a time or two
And I've been lied to
Rode hard and put up wet
Laid down beside you
You write your worries down
It pays to keep them listed
The only thing that worries me
Is my minds been twisted
Im twisted
Lord my minds been twisted
Lord my minds been twisted
Upside down and inside out
Round and round and turned about
Back and forth and to and fro
It takes a hold and it wont let go
No it wont let go
I've heard it all before
Till it dont mean nothing
Played hard and kept the score
It should mean something
Every dream you ever had
You know I wished it
Wishes turn to poison when
Your mind is twisted
Im twisted
Lord my minds been twisted
Lord my minds been twisted
Killed My Ass (5:21)
Copyright Manny Charlton (MCB)
It was late out on the highway
When we was driving last night
We were late for a gig driving like we was gonna die
When we flew by this state trooper parked on the side
We were going about 120 and we sure caught his eye
He pursued to chase us down
Goin bout as fast as he could,
But,we was not gonna give up no,no,no.
We was all jokin, laughin spittin all over his windshield,
He was clean pissed off to the bone!.
And he caught us and .....
He killed my ass!! He killed my ass!!
He killed my ass!! He killed my ass!!
He didn't want to hear our story about a Rock-n-Roll Show
He just wanted to take us down to the jail
He said there were some big boyz waitin' down there
That sure would like some long-haired-tail!!!
Ah he took the handcuffs,and he put 'em on tight
He shoved us into the back of the car
Proceeded down the other side of the highway
And we were havin' no more fun child.
He killed my ass!! He killed my ass!!
He killed my ass!! He killed my ass!!
So my lead singer grabbed him by the throat
Just before we got to the jail
We pulled his car to the side
Thats when we tied him up real real tight
and we threw his ass in the trunk.Thats right
We took that Police car,hooked up to the van
We drove it into Crazy train for the gig
We played a hell of a show that night
And then we went back to the brig!!!
He killed my ass!! He killed my ass!!
He killed my ass!! He killed my ass!!
So there I was sittin' in hell
Just beat down by a cop
For the hundredth time
I'm sittin' right there by the devil
And hes smiling,and smiling,all the while
He said "Son,your too rotten to die
Too sick to be cured of it
So what the hell are you doin' here?
I said "I come for the women
But there ain't no cold beer"
He killed my ass!! He killed my ass!!
He killed my ass!! He killed my ass!!
Maggot I (4:00)

Say you now, your prayers to God
And lay you down to sleep
Commend your soul your human woes
And beg to be his keep
I warn you all, you waste your breath
For no God hears your cry
Your mortal coils surrendered though
To feed the maggot "I"
Feed the maggot "I"
Feed the maggot "I"
Feed the maggot "I"
No spawn of hell knows you as well
No wisdom is as true
No faith as strong, as time is long
What lies in store for you
So beg you now, forgiveness for your sins
I bid you try
Your reasonings are seasonings
To feed the maggot "I"
Feed the maggot "I"
Feed the maggot "I"
Feed the maggot "I"
Conceived of lust and born to dust
Your life lies in between
Confusions spell, hides time so well
That nothings what it seems
And so you quest for your success
Or for some goal you strive
Then like the beast become the feast
To feed the maggot "I"
Feed the maggot "I"
Feed the maggot "I"
Feed the maggot "I"
Oh child of hate condemned to wait
For years piled up on years
Your passioned pleas on bended knee
Are not but cautioned fears
For all that lives is claimed by time
And nothing may deny
And all thats man shall have its end
To feed the maggot "I"
Feed the maggot "I"
Feed the maggot "I"
Feed the maggot "I"
Sweet Love (6:26)
Copyright Manny Charlton (MCB)
She... said, a taste was all I'd need
I.. never asked her why
Now I really dont know why
Sweet love had to lie
She.. told me I should sell my soul
I.. never asked the price
Now I really dont know why
Sweet love said goodbye
Did you ever love someone?
You thought would never do you wrong
Did you ever need someone?
Turned around and they were gone
Did you give a heart so true
Have it handed back to you
She.. told me that her love was true
I.. told her that, I loved her too
Now I really dont know why
Sweet love had to die
No I really dont know why
Sweet love had to die.
