    "The Bomb"

    The judgement and the jury
    Are waiting for the bomb to fall
    The preacher and the teacher
    Have all felt the call

    The Bomb

    It will hit you high
    It will hit you low
    From your body to your head
    You'll want to stand and scream
    It's a wonderful thing
    But you'll be on your face instead

    The Bomb
    Oh, here comes the bomb

    Pythagoras and the Mathmatist
    Have got a theorem for a serum
    But the baby that flies
    In the Aegean sky
    Has got nobody to steer him
    "Ocean Blue"

    Hey Mr. Leader I know how you need her
    To follow your every whim
    But she's docile and fragile
    So willing for you
    To tell her which way to give in

    You mislead the masses
    You turn them to ashes
    They they blow away
    You mislead the masses
    You're taking your chances
    This mockery lay will pay

    And I see you under
    the Ocean Blue

    Hey Mr. Breather
    Your breath is a Caesar
    Tightening her hands behind
    You're a ruthless viper
    Waiting to kype her
    Soon you'll control her mind

    You mislead the masses
    You turn them to ashes
    They they blow away
    You mislead the masses
    You're taking your chances
    This mockery lay will pay

    And I see you under
    the Ocean Blue

    Take that millstone around your neck
    Tie it much tighter cast your body
    Into the sea
    If not for her for me

    And I see you under
    the Ocean Blue
    "Touch"

    With my hands held high
    In the Caspian Sky
    I try to catch a drop
    Of your love

    But the longer I try
    The hotter the wire inside
    I've been spinning enough

    I'm gonna crack in two
    If I can't get close to you
    I know you're livin' inside

    But the river that flows
    Past my soul
    Now I'm in a desert
    That's dry

    Oh, I'm standing here waiting
    Oh, I'm not asking for much

    All I want is your touch
    That's all I want

    If a baby asked for bread
    Would you give him a stone?
    How much more do I mean to you
    I'm on my knees
    Beggin' Beggin' Please

    Oh, I'm standing here waiting
    Oh, I'm not asking for much

    All I want is your touch
    That's all I want

    "Revival 90's"

    It's the dawning of a decade
    It's the end of the push and pull
    It's the bringing of a new day
    With thoughts from the pillow

    It's a mirror time emotion
    Except for it's real
    A common life of devotion
    Shout out the way you feel
    Revival 90's
    It's the coming of a new day
    It's the starting of the five and get
    It's the end of a blue day
    With thoughts from the common gift

    It's a mirror time emotion
    Except for it's real
    A common life of devotion
    Shout out the way you feel
    "Carry Me to Cairo"

    Two miles east of the Nile
    Near the cattle ground
    Which is five miles round
    Treasure is found hiding in
    A hideaway

    There is gold riches wine
    Buried beneath the triangle shrines
    Though the pharaohs are dead
    The ruby bed is shining red

    Carry me to Cairo
    Carry me unto the
    Riches of Old

    Richer than the treasure
    Is a story that's true
    Of the brother small
    Who ruled them all
    When the famine came
    They Pharaoh gave him everything

    They stuck him in a hole and
    Sold him away to a caravan
    That passed that day
    And though they sold him for dead
    They were at his feet
    Begging for bread

    Carry me to Cairo
    Carry me unto the
    Riches of Old
    Unto the stories of Old
    "Come Alive Again"

    Wake up
    Come alive again
    Wake up
    I'll tell you why

    Your daddy was a preacher and
    Your mamma was a teacher
    But you didn't want to listen
    To the ohpayo

    You walk it to the minute
    And you walk it to the mile
    And you walk it to the minute
    On the ohpayo
    "Dancin' in the Kettle"

    There once was a man
    His name was Abednego
    Meshach, Shadrach
    Tossed into the inferno

    The kettle was hot
    The fire it burned
    They all fell down
    As their luck had turned
    Oh yea

    Dancin' in the kettle
    When you're holdin' me tight
    Make me feel all right singin'
    Get a little closer
    I lose all composure
    The kettle is hot
    Like the world that turns
    We all fall down
    Like the love that's burnin'

    Dancin' in the kettle
    "I Need You So"

    The clock it ticks
    Like clickin' sticks
    When I'm not by your side

    I get so cold
    I feel so old
    There is no place to hide

    1...2...3...4...5 A.M.
    I'm out so late tonight
    You lie awake and wait for me
    To come home to your side

    I'll never go away
    I need you so, I need you so

    I'll never go away
    No

    No matter how tough it gets
    We baby, we'll be strong
    Don't you ever get in your head
    I'll ever do you wrong

    Windy, baby don't you cry
    I love you so much it's true
    I need you

    I'll never go away
    I need you so, I need you so
    I'll never go away
    "Nineties Tease"

    Shirley MacClaine
    Will go insane
    And get lost on
    Channel Three

    The Japanese Czar
    Will golf to par
    And steal the
    American Dream

    Nineties Nineteen Nineties
    Nineteen Nineties
    Nineties Tease

    Jimmy, Tammy, Swaggart
    And the rest
    Are all back havin' a ball

    But the I.R.S. will make
    A mess
    When they break the
    Non-profit wall

    Nineties
    Nineteen Nineties
    Nineteen Nineties
    Nineties Tease

    It will all be comin'
    Up roses
    Except for the ones
    With holes in their noses

    Nineties
    Nineteen Nineties
    Nineteen Nineties
    Nineties Tease
    "Wakin' Up the Dead"

    Wakin' up the dead
    I love it
    I heard the words that you said
    And I want it

    Bring on the gospel hour
    With a holy shower
    To the dead and Cold
    To the spiritually soiled
    Wakin' up the dead
    I love it

    It's like a sweet
    It's like a sweet
    Perfume
