Story Behind The Song
The dissonant opening vamp sounded both frenzied and grotesque to me, and seemed to make sense against the strange mix of apocalyptic imagery and commercial sensationalism that is big-time religious media production. -BB
Song Description
With the frenetic pacing of an televangelical promo, the speaker, apparently overcome by divine inspiration, careens back and forth between selling divine salvation to the listener and indulging visions of grandeur for himself.

Lyrics
Come to me
Visions come to me
Of stadiums and factories
The fire in the stands
Sirens in the band
Serve the Lord with gladness
Come into His master plan
Hallelujah
Comin' to ya
It's a steal
Rod and my staff
They will comfort thee
On radio and cable TV
The king upon his throne
The faithful on the phone
All the law and all the prophets
All the fire and brimstone
Hallelujah
Howlin' through ya
It's so real
And it's so
Depending on how I feel
Body broken that you may be whole
Blood to quench your soul
Body broken body whole-
Sale
One if by land
Two birds with one hand
Hallelujah
Howlin' through ya
It's so real
And it's so
Depending on how I feel
Hallelujah
What's it to ya
Iron and steel
One nation
Depending on how I feel
