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}
