The Flood 04:19
On the flood...on the fire side People died, they had no time On the side, the flood went down The flood was lost on many souls It took us down...a heavy load People died that had only hate I lost my father there...and my sister fell down so low She died in a water grave..so afraid that I lost my way I been alone in this watery grave Oh my son be so afraid I died in this watery grave I been down.... I died in this watery grave I been down...

Too Wild 04:28
I run through the jungle I feel fine Out of my mind The jungle, the jungle is the place for me (drone jungle chant) I go back to the jungle...and my soul is now Undercover I feel my soul alone My love is a fire And my soul is a desire For the jungle is fine for me (drone jungle chant) My baby..she's a tiger My heart is always inside her So she can always come to me Oh baby how you love me You're so high above me I'm afraid of losing you (drone jungle chant) My heart is all desire Now we can make a fire Oh girl..come to me (drone jungle chant) My heart..hot as a fire My soul.. a party for us Now I can see you My heart in the breeze now Oh girl...come to me (drone jungle chant)

Tenament 03:38
I live in a housing project Its Black And it is a hella mess And life is just another Death If you live where I live You want to die...nothing to give There is no post card here I got cabin fever There is only killer I'm gone in this place The people who live next door They got a daughter who is a whore Oh my god the sounds out loud I'll the people in the ghetto I know Oh god I wish I could go with the flow Oh god I wish I could leave this place Give up your rent to the landlord All the girls in this place sell their souls Cockroaches and all kind of bugs Oh god..I'll just pee in the road Oh god there is only fear Of all those diseases in our rear And with AIDS we have something new All our friends are dead with that flu Our aunt came to visit last week She brought a disease that we didn't seek Now we all have sores in our mouth If you come to visit me Be sure to bring some DDT Spray yourself before you come to dine Oh...I live Project Blues

Maybe Love 02:58
I know...I know just what you mean I've seen him before...seen him on the scene He moves and talks a strange line But it means nothing to me...I'm fine You think maybe things going slow You think all life moves low Your just wondering on a Maze-a-go-round You found something that makes your Mamma sound Well, I was wondering just what you do Does it do with plastic, then I should Or Maybe its Love, its all you need Something like that will set you free I loved you once...I will love you again Or maybe us will always lose their friend But lately I have seen a change Its forever and I have seen the range.

Water Town 04:25
(yelling) Violence Fresh Water God is the God for You Food is the God for You Hot Food Hot Food (yelling) Plates with a lot and I really enjoy it Plates with a lot and I really enjoy it Water, Water, Water, Water (yelling) Order, Order, Order, Order Water, Water, Water, Water Order your cookies.

I Sinatra 03:07
My mamma said don't you go down that street, its all right if you are all alone My mama said now you look fine if you don't be blind My mamma said now don't you be bad and I said I won't walk down there My mamma said if things get friendly you will have to fine a friend You're all alone no one to take us back home now My mamma said if you are feeling fine then go downtown and have a really good time now If you play in the neighborhood sandbox just watch out Its a bad time A bad time for us all now Many things are falling apart and no one left to release us now I've been afraid most of my life of the people in the neighborhood ghetto But they let us in as a friend in their time now If you go to the ghetto time they will never leave us alone... now. Because I've seen it And now I mean it Because now I've seen it...dumb If you go down to the ghetto anytime is right now Don't you ever go down to the ghetto at anytime now Anybody what I said now.

I think the telephone is a fine thing You can phone and try it..hear it ring Phone your granddad in the Rapids Phone a call girl in the papers Its a fine thing You can phone a person far away You can phone your neighbor just to say..Hey Or maybe lonely late at night You can phone a girl and invite her over by the phone My My I'm a Modern Lad Telephones make me glad You can sing to the one you love Over lines from heaven above Its so romantic at any time 528725 That's my telephone number to keep it alive Phone me now to the place of the deaf Phone me , I love my telephone too LaLaLa..I know my zip code too I know how to phone the operator when I'm in the mood She can talk...talk to you too She's another voice from out of the blue.

Too Bad 04:41
I knew a girl named Sally She was a pretty pretty Lady Her hair was silver blond Her nails were grey Too Bad Too Bad Too Bad I saw her way as very lazy Her mind and hands were always crazy Don't you let me love her..it will make me cry Too Bad Too Bad Too Bad Too Bad Don't you ever leave me alone My heart my heart to stone Too Bad Too Bad Too Bad Too Bad Girl you looking real real crazy I gave my heart and soul to ladies Till my eye is going Crazy Too Bad Too Bad Too Bad Too Bad My girl ..won't you let me talk now To say that my soul is going Crazy Till my own soul is looking Too Bad Too Bad Too Bad Too Bad Too bad for me Oh let me go... Too Bad Too Bad Too Bad Too Bad

about

As our band neared the year end mark, we had already created over 50 hit tunes. This album finds the band going "deep" with George's bass playing becoming a pillar of intensity. The opening song..The Flood , Tenement, Mash, and Water Town, typify our intense state as a band. Was the outside world leaving creativity for disco, and we found ourselves in this suburban living room...all alone? There are two simple acoustic numbers on this disc that I played when I was alone, and the other band members had gone home. They were part of those times..so they are included. I wonder what will become of these memorable moments, now captured forever in The Wheel of Time.
