Ain’t no way for a garden to grow
You got to water, got to work with the hoe
Ain’t no way for yourself to get fed
You don’t get up and get out of bed
Wash your face, comb your hair
Get on straight and get out there

{CHORUS}
That’s how things get
That’s how things get
That’s how they get done

Open up your mind
Put your body in motion
Go ahead and make yourself a clean sweep
You ain’t a bear, you don’t need that much sleep

{CHORUS}

The world is sick, It’s an epidemic
Sometimes what I think we need
Is one good swift kick
Kick

{CHORUS}

07 Love Knows (No Borders)
well, welcome to the season
of suspicion and what not
where the only reason
is based on why not

maybe your bank account
is not a high enough amount
just jingling your pockets
full of quarters, well

{CHORUS}
love knows no borders
love knows no borders

maybe you’re crossing over the line
to arrive just in time
now I know the gates
all got their supporters, but

{CHORUS}

find a strip to land
where survivors need a helping hand
crossing over the line
to feed a famine in time

I know we all got our orders, but

08 The Voice Within
(instrumental)

09 Nail In The Sky
the considerate morning
burns off the treacherous dark
and you celebrate that spangle and spark

scattering the ashes
made from such a blazing bright might
it shatters the shadows
with such a sacred light

{CHORUS}

never going to leave
never going to leave
this heart alone

hammer of the gods
leaves a nail in the sky
home is where
the hat’s hung high

the meticulous morning
sears off the foggy dark
and you savor that spangle
with an amazing spark

{CHORUS}

she’s never going to leave
these hearts alone

10 Howlin' A Gale
well the soul rides
somewhere inside
cause the body is a boat
and maybe mistakes
were only made to make
but you better make a note
land ho, land ho,
land ho, land ho

now you’re filling up
filling up with foam
and no way to bail
yeah you’re filling up
no way to find yourself back home
and there’s a hole in your pail

{CHORUS}
and the wind kicks in
the way she loves to wail
and it’s howling a gale
I it’s howling a gale

water’s getting higher
up to the brim
and you’re turning pale
water’s getting higher
and it’s all coming in
and the wind begins to wail

{CHORUS}

alone she stands on a pier
waiting for her love to appear
but the wind, she loves to wail

{CHORUS}

well the soul rides
deep inside
cause the body, she’s a boat
mistakes were made to make
but you better take note
better keep a float

{CHORUS}

11 Robes Of Bible Black
{CHORUS}
keep little the promise
but less the lie
from down this mud here
to way up sky
let light and love
be keep to the test
and short supply
never enter the nest

now sleep with eyes rolled back
so tongue might taste
the sweet dream water
and not the waste
when time to turn
come time awake
back from luck
to the same mistake

{CHORUS}

faint heart will rise
from track to trailwhen the storm will ease
and clear skies prevail
it’ll find the one
with the heartless wail
it’ll slide back in
where love grew stale

wearing the robes
of bible black
torn to shreds now
from self attack
lingering long
when it’s time to turn back
burying faint heart
by the railroad track

12 Worried Spirits
oh my worried spirits
oh my troubled mind
woke me up late last night
just to tell me I wasn’t trying
what do you think I’m going to answer ?
I know what they told me is true
Well I must care less about some things I guess
What am I to do ?

{CHORUS}
It’s hard to take some time
The strong ones fade
And the weak ones die
But you got to keep on trying

Tell me who’s going to pick up the pieces
When you start to break down
Who will be left to answer your questions ?
Take a good look around

oh my worried spirits
oh my troubled mind

tell me what are we going to do
when the money’s all gone
and we are losing our home
it’ll be hard to eat, with a plate on the street
fighting the dog for his bone

{CHORUS}

13 Neon Filler
things could have been better
they sure could not have gotten much worse
when there were tears out in the alley
and laughter waiting out front in the hearse
and there’s remark about contender
repulsa ain’t too hard to find
conclusion based on surrender
and the general dismissal
on the merit of mankind

the snakes and the saw-toothes
they lay loving the buck
spending all their time setting up camp
and running amuck

{CHORUS}
light Is not the neon filler
not the memory of sun filled days by solar spark
light is the moses
splitting the waves in a sea so dark

there’s a town in the high desert
where doctor gene scott says the demons run
alongside a chunk of heaven hovering there
where the wind in the image of the throne rides shotgun

riddles of the wonderment, wonders of the firmament
and me laid up, laid off and laying low

{CHORUS}

things could have been better
they sure could not have gotten any worse
tears out in the alley way
and laughter waiting out front there in the hearse

{CHORUS}

14 Chore of Enchantment
got to go now
there is still so much left behind
not ready to go
but already out of time

{CHORUS}
That’s the chore here
the chore of enchantment

one of these days
I’m going to get me a plan
I’m going to stick around
To see how it gets all out of hand

{CHORUS}

you’re ok, as long as you can get
you can last
whatever gets in your way
even that they say must past

{CHORUS}
