"Let's Just Get Naked" (MP3)

"One Of Us (Album Version)" (MP3)
Oh, oh one of these days when the Pope shoot a pearl,
This old world's gonna deal in drugs.
Saints serve the devil with paper plates
And the Lord's gonna come with his heavenly airplane.
Oh, one of these days around twelve o'clock
The whole wide world will reel and rock
The sinner will tremble and cry for pain
And the Lord will come in his aeroplane.

"One Of Us (album version)" (MP3)
Oh, one of these days at about 12 o'clock,
This ole bird going to demand rock,
Saint well-keeper and DeKuyer paint,
For the lord's going to come in his heavenly airplane
Oh, one of these days around twelve o'clock
The whole wide world will reel and rock
The sinner will tremble and cry for pain
And the Lord will come in his aeroplane.
