MANNY CHARLTON:   Drool

Doom

Do you know where you are
Didn't anyone tell
You're a man on a mission,
You're on the shores of hell
What you gonna do
Where you gonna go
Cause no one's got the street plan
That's all you need to know

Blood on the walls
Better watch your back
Blood in your eyes
Another planned attack
Blood in your face
Better keep control
Blood on your hands
Your gonna loose control

You can run
But you sure can't hide
Oh no
It's always 'round the bend
You're in the house of pain
Better find all you think you need
Will this nightmare never end

Better find the exit
Better find the door
You won't get no mercy
Down on the killin' floor
There's a spider on the bridge
There's a demon on the ledge
Better get your chain gun
Fill it full of lead

You can run
But you sure can't hide
Oh no
It's always 'round the bend
You're in the house of pain
Better find all you think you need
Will this nightmare never end

Blood on the walls
Blood in your eyes
Blood on your face
Blood on your hands
Your gonna loose your soul

You can run
But you just can't hide
Oh no
It's always 'round the bend
You're in the house of pain
Better find all you think you need
Will this nightmare never end

Blood on the walls
Blood in your eyes
Blood on your face
Blood on your hands
No! No!
Your gonna loose your soul
Your gonna loose your soul

Rockin In The Freeworld

There's colors on the street
Red, White and Blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
On the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
We'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan
But I am to them
So I try to forget it
Any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world...

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hands
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away
And she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life
And what she's done to it
There's one more kid that
Will never go to school
Never get to fall in love
Never get to be cool.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder
Gentler, Machine gun hand
We got department stores
And toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
For the ozone layer
Got a man of the people
Says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn
Got roads to drive.

White Hotel

A red rose on the water
A star falls into the sea
And blue skies look down forever
High above the white hotel
High above the white hotel

A young girl and her lover
A fire will burn down the night
And all of the lonely people
Caught inside the white hotel
Caught inside the white hotel

She wakes up, this must be heaven
She needs her promised land
Around her angels are singing
Welcome to the white hotel
Welcome to the white hotel

Signed, Sealed, Delivered

Signed, sealed, delivered'
Sat right in your lap
And everything you wanted
You got lyin' on your back
She never had to try for nothin' no, no
She born in luxury
You're daddy's little sweet thing
She's stickin' her hooks in me

Signed, sealed, delivered'
You're world on a plate
And everything you needed
You got lyin' at your feet
She never had to try for nothin' no, no
Seeking luxury
Well you're daddy's little sweet thing
Stick your knives in me
Signed, sealed, delivered oh!

Signed, sealed, delivered
Heaven to your door
An' everyone she chooses would
Crawl down on all fours
She never had to try for nothin'no, no
She born in luxury
Well you're daddy's little sweet thing
Give your hots to me

Signed, sealed, delivered
Signed, sealed, delivered
Signed, sealed, delivered
Yeah!

Change

She says the things that she does
She does for the sake of love
Tryin' to understand me

She holds her head in her hands
Says I'm an impossible man
I think she'd like to change me

I think she wants to change me
I think she'd like to change me
Change me!..change

The things she said that she needs
Never made much sense to me
And she talks to me of freedom

Another lock, another key
Another chain, she makes for me
She has no sense or reasons

I think she wants to change me
I think she'd like to change me
Change me!..change

She says the things that she does
She does for the sake of love!..love
Tryin' to understand me

Another lock, another key
Another chain, she makes for me!!no!..no
She has no sense or reasons

I think she wants to change me
I think she'd like to change me
Change me!..change.

Donna - Get Off That Crack

Donna has a nine year old kid
In another months time she's expecting twins
She can quit, anytime that she likes
I know she's on a mission tonight

Donna get off that crack
Says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack
Just say no, get your life back
Don't pay no bills, don't pay the rent
But you don't forget where the money went

And who will you turn to when the money's all gone
You'll wonder why, why you were born
Donna get off that crack
Says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack
Just say no, get your life back

She's down on the dealing floor
She just wants to do one more
One more time and then shes gonna quit
One more dance, one more hit

Remember Frank, he cut a dash
So much style and so much class
Blown away for the coat on his back
The kid that did it sold his coat for crack

Donna get off that crack
Says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack
Just say no, get your life back girl!

She's down on the dealing floor
She just wants to do one more
One more time and then shes gonna quit
One more dance, one more hit

Donna get off that crack
Says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack
Just say no get your life back

Donna get off that crack
Says the sign on the third floor flat

Donna get off that crack
Just say no, get your life back girl!

Family

In the pitch of night they keep callin'
Feed and killing the man that was me
Showed my piece of mind, he keeps screamin'
Mother

With the light of day comes a question
Cut the talisman of praise, lose your fear
In the heat of the day sweats my anger
Father

Twisted tongue, twisted minds, twisted sisters
Perfect love, but pent up hate becomes one
Lift my soul up so high, just to let go
Brother

And Father, father
And Mother, mother
What'd you leave for me
Yeah! Yeah!
What'd you leave for me

And Brother, brother
And Sister, sister
What'd you leave for me
Yeah! Yeah!
What'd you leave for me
Ooh, what'd you leave for me...

With the light of day comes a question
Cut the talisman of praise, lose your fear
In the heat of day sweats my anger
Father

Father, father
Mother, mother
What'd you leave for me
Yeah! Yeah!
What'd you leave for me

Brother, brother
Sister, sister
What'd you leave for me
Yeah!
What'd you leave for me
Ooh, what'd you leave for me...

White Boy

Send him to the fields, send him to the wars
Send him on down, to slave on the farms
Steal his land, rob his soul
Send him on down, to dig that hole

Give him no hope, give him no trial
Put him in chains, break that smile
Pull that barge, tote that bale
Listen to him singin, listen to him wail

Give him no peace, give him no rest
Teach him to believe, your god is the best
Sail him away, to the promised land
Send him on down, down into his masters hand
Take his woman, take his child

Take him on down, down to the murder mile
Pull that barge, tote that bale
What's that song, you can hear him wail

You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy
You wouldn't do that to a whiteboy

And now you wonder why, is he an angry man
Wild as a fire down in your father's land
And wonder now, what tomorrow will bring
Will you hear him screamin', will you hear him sing.

Kitchen

Get out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat
Get off the dance floor if you can't find the beat
Don't ask me no questions if you think that I'm a liar
Stay out of my love life if you can't light my fire

Don't bet on the big one if you can't afford to lose
Don't walk on the water if you're still wearin' your shoes
Don't try to get to heaven if you can't see the sky
Get out of my love life if you can't light my fire

Here comes Miss Lucy with her nose up in the air
She's wearin' big Karma and a flower in her hair
I'm just mad about her
I'm mad

Don't run for the white house if you want to come back
Don't try for the mainline if you can't find the track
Don't look for the needle if there's smoke in your eyes
Get out of my love life if you can't light my fire

Here comes Miss Lucy with her nose up in the air
She's wearin' big Karma and a flower in her hair
I'm just mad about her
I'm mad

Here comes Miss Lucy with her nose up in the air
She's wearin' big Karma and a flower in her hair
I'm just mad about her
I'm mad

Animals

Well I know what I want, I want you
I can't see nothin else, All I can see is you
I don't care what they say, about my state of mind
Cause I know what I like, and you are just my kind

We are animals, We are animals
We are animals, We are animals

I know what I need, I need you
Shed your cloths, forget your codes
You know this is nothing new
I taste your sweat, I smell your scent
I feel this passion too
Let's trust our senses, not our minds
Lets break all the rules

We are animals, We are animals
We are animals, We are animals

Come with me, run with me, leave this world behind
Come to me, come with me, I know that you will find

Love Kills

It kills a man, and it kills a boy
It kills a child, that's yet to be born
It kills the weak, and it kills the strong
It kills the right, and it kills the wrong

Protect yourself, love kills
Respect yourself, love kills
Love kills, love kills

Talk to your doctor, talk to your nurse
Call up the President, he'll say it's going to get worse
Talk to your preacher, Yeah!, don't you suffer no fools
Talk to your teacher, you know they give you the rules

You talk about numbers, talk about yours
Looking for answers, why can't you tell me what's yours
Yeah!, it's killing your heroes, Yeah!, it's killing your friends
It's killing our future, now tell me where does it end.

Lady Luck

There's a woman in New Orleans
Said to love me she was born
That was Friday payday
By Sunday she was gone
So I drove on down to Texas
Where I did not do to well
I fell hard for this woman child
Turned out she came from...well

Lady Luck help me hold on
Lady Luck help me hold on
To one that I love

Well I had no luck with women
Thought I'd try my hand at cards
So I headed for Nevada
I'm Gonna really take them on
But the way the hands were fallin'
And the way the money goes
You could say it's getting colder
You could say I nearly froze

Lady Luck help me hold on
Lady Luck help me hold on
To one that I love

So I started playing guitar
In a southern boogie band
And the ladies I was meeting
Make you want to buy the farm
Gettin' tired of saving souvenirs
Don't remind me where they're from
And the nights come on like magic
In the morning it's all gone

Lady Luck help me hold on
Lady Luck help me hold on
To one that I love

Lady Luck help me hold on
Lady Luck help me hold on
To one that I love

Sleep

A voice in my head, a voice from my past
Talking in tongues I recognize
A sound in my room, is it rain on my window
I lie awake, eyes open wide

Sometimes I read, or watch my T.V.
Tryin' in vain to close my mind
I'm tossin'and turnin'
I'm cold then I'm burnin'
Sometimes I think this bed's too wide

Oh, how I wish I could sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep

I think of my father, remember my mother
I wonder if they can see me now
Sleep..Sleep..

Oh, how I wish I could sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep

Sleep..Sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep

Oh, how I wish I could sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep

Homegrown

Do you remember your little angel
When the chat was in her eyes
Do you remember your little angel
Before the needle and the lies ..
mmmm, yeah

Does she remember her first heartaches
And the taste of bittersweet
She turns and cowers to the voices in her mind
Sounds to far, too far to reach

She was a noble heart, she was a noble heart
She's a child with her head in a cloud
She's got, nothin but tears in her eyes
She's got sad eyes
She won't come down, cause she knows the way
Child with her head in a cloud
She's got, nothin but tears in her eyes
She's got sad eyes
She won't come down, cause she knows the way

Did you ever get to see her face again
Because you wouldn't accept, that she's homegrown
Will you ask her world outside to take your blame
Need of the child that you called your own

She was a noble heart, she was a noble heart
She's a child with her head in a cloud
She's got, nothin but tears in her eyes
She's got sad eyes
She won't come down, cause she knows the way

Child with her head in a cloud
She's got nothin but tears in her eyes
She's got sad eyes
She won't come down, cause she knows the way

Do you remember little sister
Do you accept, that shes homegrown
Do you remember little sister
The child that you left out in the cold

She's in your heart
