Dynamite Charlie was a loser
Building bombs in his flat
Filled up his head with too many words
You know where that's at.
One day while he was working
He made a bad mistake.

Playing with fire, yeah,

But it was too late.

He thought he would take a good look at himself
Dropping some L.S.D.

Everything would be alright.
