Box Of Light B. Gibson There’s an omen in the sky just south of town The sweet distraction’s beatin’ a good man down The face that launched a thousand ships is right on cue This sketchy vessel needs a two man crew The stilted archer’s aim is far from true The resurrection of a tear so deeply blue A wanton sailor with a vaunted weekend pass I smell the tainted nectar in my glass I need a box of light A source of sweet desire I’ve gotta put it right To coax that angels’ choir This lover’s franchise serves a worthwhile crime The striking Diva sings in perfect time The thirsty patrons hide their private war So tip the jar and let the spirits pour It takes an army to avenge a swollen heart A garden sated by the Queen apostle’s dart No steed awaits to ride at this affair So place your wager, spill the gambler’s share I need a box of light A source of sweet desire I’ve gotta put it right To coax that angels’ choir I need a box of light A source of sweet desire I’ve gotta put it right To coax that angels’ choir

The Road To Providence B. Gibson This road leads to providence This road points to common sense This road’s got no room for vitriol That bridge crosses ignorance That bridge never has a fence That bridge soars above the rising tide Legions of the feckless Shadows in their heart Sated and frenetic The rabble rancor starts Invoke the dawning day Lift your voice to sing the day When all the children come to play Kaleidoscope of color, spin the wheel This road leads to providence This road points to common sense This road’s got no room for vitriol Legions of the feckless Shadows in their heart Sated and frenetic The rabble rancor starts Invoke the dawning day This road leads to providence This road leads to providence

We B. Gibson We------------------------are pouring dreams in jars We------------------------learned to play our cheap guitars Renegades and Rebels, Apple carts unsettled (uh huh) We------------------------condemn the shady lies We------------------------dispense no compromise Truth for those who seek it, Pave the path you see fit (uh huh) We------------------------ paint murals to decry We------------------------ stir the pot and edify City walls as canvas, Illustrate the madness (uh huh) We------------------------are soaring o’er the noise We------------------------will nurture and rejoice Quell the tide below us, Hate will fail to know us (uh huh) We----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ariana B. Gibson Ariana paints stardust In a shack across the lake All the cities are seething Like the world is gonna break Morning air smells of linseed Monet’s ghost has come to play Shadows dance with the sun stream Ariana sails away Beating swords into ploughshares Inspiration swims in waves Roses grow in the darkness Shine a light for the depraved The maven’s maiden seeks virtue A respite for the day of grey Lilting poetry on canvas Colors run to warm the day

Shakedown B. Gibson Well she blew into town, it was time to make the rounds Just to see what’s goin’ down at Murphy’s Grill She was cruisin’ for her “mark”, movin’ stealthy as a shark It was time to move in closer for the kill Chorus Better watch your back ‘cause it’s a shake-down The game is on so get ready for a take-down Janie’s cunning as they come, spends her life on the run Now she thinks she’s found the one to take the hit The scam is set to go, It’s a plan of ebb and flow Her mark is ready and he seems the perfect fit Chorus Better watch your back ‘cause it’s a shake-down The game is on so get ready for a take-down Joey’s buying Jane a drink, now she’s got him on the brink And she gives a little wink, she knows it’s showtime So they ride out to his shack, Janie gives his head a smack Puts his treasures in her sack, she’s gone in no time Chorus Better watch your back ‘cause it’s a shake-down The game is on so get ready for a take-down

Candy 04:04

Candy B. Gibson You showed up in my town Huntress on the prowl Laden with your riches Wrapped in velvet towels Wear no badge of honor Sow no seeds of doubt Laced up schemes to plunder Throw the tossers out Fleece the marks you’ve pillaged Drink the tea you’ve steeped The pirate life you’ve chosen The blackest of the sheep Karmic storms assemble Vex the last hurrah Cumbersome seduction Too slow on the draw Once the saucy coquette Ice flowed through your pores Vamping lurid seekers Beguiling candy store Time is now your hostile foe The glory years long spent Ambushed by insurgents The season’s claim their rent

Castaway B. Gibson You don’t wanna’ talk about it The beast is chewin’ at your door Lookin’ For solace in your pocket Ain’t no use starin’ at the floor You can’t embrace the gritty city So toss away your rusty key No resurrection lives in pity The creeping burn is 3rd degree Glowing embers lift the spirit Aspiration in the wind Cloak of darkness asks to wear it The clever ruse it will portend Raft is pounding on a riptide Roller coaster on the waves Rudder swings into the broadside Sinks the weary castaway A savage lives inside your attic It’s peppered rage on full display Too rough to parry with the static Swimming hard against the day Through the foggy vexing chatter The lost at sea will lend a hand Cut to the marrow of the matter Mayhem seeks the promised land This thieving shadow is an outlaw A rogue invisible to most Puzzle pieces from a jig saw Swing from low to grandiose A savage lives inside your attic It’s peppered rage on full display Too rough to parry with the static Swimming hard against the day

Lake Of 30 Pines B. Gibson Jenny was a pretender, Grew up west of the tracks And I seem to remember, Sometimes she twisted the facts But something this time is dodgy, Impending darkness dwelling here Where the cypress gets boggy, Things seem to disappear There’s a lake south of town, Maybe 80 feet deep With an eerie pulsing sound You can feel through your feet In the deep black woods, Was an odd green glow 13 nightingales were falling, In the chilling lake below Chorus South of Tallahassee is the lake of 30 pines Tales of something in the trees The Seminoles will swear that there’s something wicked there When the sky blows wild as the sea One chilly night in November, The thickness in the air felt strange When Jenny found Melinda, She just wasn’t the same Had a blank look in her eyes, Like there was nobody there Then Jenny soon realized, She swam the lake on a dare Jenny and Melinda vanished, Not a trace of where they are Just a clue scribed in Spanish In a strange clay jar Unearthed from briars & blackberries, Dated 1629 Was a warning for the wary, Stay away from 30 pines Chorus South of Tallahassee is the lake of 30 pines Tales of something in the trees The Seminoles will swear that there’s something wicked there When the sky blows wild as the sea When the sky blows wild as the sea

Trolls B. Gibson The trogs and the trolls bring their arrows and their bows taking aim Jockey for position in the defamation nation, spread the shame Hiding in the shadows of their paltry little lies The games---------------------------------------------they play The games---------------------------------------------they play The jackals and the moles love to step on other’s toes to make the scene Subterfuge all the rage, lies flyin’ off the page, so Byzantine Pathetic little monkeys wait their turn to throw the pie The games---------------------------------------------they play The games---------------------------------------------they play Chorus Take my umbrella when it rains Merciful shelter from the win-cing pain Mitigate the tempest ‘till it wanes Torpedo all the gunboats cut the chains Glowing in the dark a piranha in the park attacks its prey Post another fable tell the truth under the table so cliché Destroy another young soul, trying to find their way The games---------------------------------------------they play The games---------------------------------------------they play The yobbos and the goons, the invisible buffoons harass the weak Spineless games in the night as the rumor mills ignite So faux la chic Raptors at the banquet, sharpening their teeth The games---------------------------------------------they play The games---------------------------------------------they play Take my umbrella when it rains Merciful shelter from the win-cing pain Mitigate the tempest ‘till it wanes Torpedo all the gunboats cut the chains

Bounty Hunter B. Gibson Nobody saw him comin’ In the night Like a ghost in white linen What a sight His face was pale as ashes So surreal All the folks in the diner Ate their meal Man, the vibe was crazy What’s goin’ down, goin’ down The stranger stood on his table And looked around Pointing to some cat in the corner Without a sound He pulled out a strange poster And held it high A bounty hunter from out there Beyond the sky Man, the vibe was crazy What’s goin’ down, goin’ down Now things really got wonky Hold your hat He pulls a mask off his face Not ready for that Just like some Sci Fi movie What a scene Six eyes on his forehead The people screamed Man, the vibe was crazy What’s goin’ down, goin’ down The hunter grabbed his prisoner And tied him down He whipped out his gamma ray gun And spun around He’d travelled 30 light years To snare his prey A blinding light and they vanished On his cosmic sleigh Man, the vibe was crazy What’s goin’ down, goin’ down

Juke Joint Jerry’s B. Gibson There’s a vibe at Juke Joint Jerry’s Where the music’s sweet and fine Yeah, there’s a vibe at Juke Joint Jerry’s Where the music’s sweet and fine Ain’t nobody leavin’, This wingding’s primed to shine Yonder goes Odessa, Oh how she builds a fire There goes Miss Odessa, Lord she builds a fire When she starts to dancin’, that honkeytonk’s haywire Down the road in Waycross, There’s a cat named Cookie Brown Down the road in Waycross, Is a cat called Cookie Brown Brings his harp on Fridays, Blows like Sonny Boy’s in town (Mercy, Mercy, Mercy) Mercy on the people, That never feel the groove Nights at Juke Joint Jerry’s, Makes your spirit move Mercy on the people, That never feel the groove Nights at Juke Joint Jerry’s, Makes your spirit move Slidin’ like Ry Cooder, Love that bottleneck guitar Wailin’ like Ry Cooder, Crave that bottleneck guitar Whipped into a frenzy, Hot pepper in a jar Nellie’s got the blues now, Git her down to Triple J’s Poor girl’s got the blues now, Hop on down to Triple J’s Git dem bones to jumpin’, Let the kitties out to graze (Mercy, Mercy, Mercy) Mercy on the people, That never feel the groove Nights at Juke Joint Jerry’s, Makes your spirit move Mercy on the people, That never feel the groove Nights at Juke Joint Jerry’s, Makes your spirit move
