J.U.M.P.I.N.G. jumping in gomorah, I’m religion free
J.U.M.P.I.N.G. jumping in gomorah, I’m religion free

Bring your horn of plenty
Gold calves if you got ’em
We’ll get stuck in history
All aboard for sodom

Bring your burning bush
Harlots if you’re able
We’ll get stuck in history
Next stop tower of Babel

J.U.M.P.I.N.G.
All aboard for sodom
