Wakin' Up the Dead
"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
