Gnarly Charlie

(Album: Ten Foot Pole / Satanic Surfers - 1995)

By the time you hear this song it'll be over
Gnarly Charlie's back again and he's wearing a goatee
Doesn't look the way he did five years before
On the streets again and knocking on my door

Only comes out at night when the lights are out and no one's around
The streets are his to take. It's uncle Charlie's first playground
Don't you know he will find you in your sleep
And rip through you, rip through you

So why don't you leave me alone
Why don't you leave me alone
Why don't you stay away from me
Stay away from me

He doesn't value time on the outside he's just looking in
On top of the world today see Charlie's coming back again
I can see why he doesn't make it
In the world [?] us who really cares

So why don't you leave me alone
Why don't you leave me alone
Why don't you stay away from me
Stay away from me

Oh Charlie's back again
Oh Charlie's back again
Oh Charlie's back again
He's back
