SWIMMING IN THE SOUND
I’m swimming Swimming in the sound Can you feel it
FIVE YEARS (BOWIE)
Pushing through the market square So many mothers sighing
News had just come over We had five years to cry in
Five years five years five years
News guy wept when he told us Earth was really dying
He cried so much his face was wet Then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric trains and T.V.’s
My brain hurt like a warehouse It had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things To store it in there
A girl my age went off her head She hit some tiny children
If the black hadn’t pulled her off I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm fixed his stare on a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And the queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving You were sitting and looking so fine
Drinking, drinking and I don’t think you knew that you were in this song
I don’t think Oh O O O
I’m OK
I’m ok You’re ok I’m ok I’m ok and You’re ok
Everybody Everybody is ok How you doing How you doing
I’m ok I’m ok What does ok mean
Like you got your head above the water
When you say you’re ok I hope you’re ok
When you say you’re ok well I hope you’re ok
I’m ok I’m ok ok ok
At my back I always hear
Time’s winged chariot hurrying near
And yonder all before us Lie deserts of eternity
Though we can’t make our sun stand still
We will Oh yes we will Make him run Make him run
Make him run
THE LADDER OF SUCCESS
The ladder of success Take another step
You’ll be happier So they say
Are you serving treasure pleasure leisure
There’s more important things
I can recommend a good book
The ladder of success You’re getting ahead
The ladder of success Uh ohh You’re dead
GASLIGHTING ME
They’re gaslighting me The land is full of idols
The people hold hands with pagans
They bow to hand made gods
They plunder the poor The poor the poor
How long till the cities lie in ruins
How long till the fields are ravaged
How long till the land is forsaken
How long till the rodents come
How long till the rodents come
They’re gaslighting me
DRONE WITH ME (SEE ALBUM “GOOD PEOPLE GO TO HELL”)
CELL PHONE IS A DRUG
Your cell phone Is a drug My cell phone Is a drug
I think I heard a beep I think I heard a beep
Have to see what that may be
Ohh just an ad Just an advertisement
From whom I do not know Look out Look out for China
Be careful with your apps
WHAT TAKES PLACE IN SPACE
What takes place in space
I just know Amazing Grace

Let’s roll Let’s roll Kato Let’s rock Are you ready to rock
(I’m ready) Miss Case
Talking About The Truth (It Doesn’t Matter to Them)
It doesn’t matter to them (4x) I’m talking about the truth (3x)
It doesn’t matter to them (2x) Shatter the teeth of the wicked
Strike them on the jaw Like grass they will soon wither
Soon to be no more (2x) Yeah It doesn’t matter to them
They’re reward is only now A season before judgement (2x)
It doesn’t matter to them Talking about the truth
Consideration
Where will you go when you die Heaven or hell Is it a lie
Where will you go when you die Heaven of hell Is it a lie
Do you believe in Heaven or hell Or just a story someone tells
Do you believe in Heaven or hell Or just a story someone tells
Do you believe in Christ Jesus Or just a word in a cuss
Do you believe in Christ Jesus Or just a word in a cuss
Do you believe in Heaven or hell Or just a story someone tells
It can seem very strange Out of the tomb – your mind may change
Do you believe in Heaven or hell Or just a story someone tells

The Waves They Speak
I must say The waves They speak to me They speak to me
The tide moves in The tide Moves out The waves they speak to me
The waves they speak Well I remember Younger days
When fear Was not so deep Forgive me If I cry Forgive me If I sigh
Forgive me If I do not try Forgive me When I ask why
Forgive me Forgive me
The tide moves in The tide moves out Moves in Moves out
They speak to me The waves they speak to me
Here we go Here we go Oh oh The ocean takes my breath away
