Let God Be Your Gardener

"Let God Be Your Gardener" (Osborne) – 1:52

Lyrics

Knee crawling alive and tasting

another way for lies to take it in

Listen kid your face is like porcelin

Worrys. Life is like a, garden.

Life is like a.

Drop-D tuning.

Meters are a bit strange, as always on "Ozma". I chose whatever felt right to me, but don't count on it

(or better still, count for yourself!). Anyway, the song grooves fiendishly.
