Thanks, and from your 1st link it states:

"The title and lyrics refer to the prophesied second coming of Christ, while also calling for gun control laws (a topic also addressed in Annie Christian, also from 1981)."

Anybody remember the lyrics or have the lyrics?

There are numerous 'versions' on City Lights Vol.2. it's more than likely the studio version that's played.

It won't be long
All of God's children must learn how 2 love
It won't be long (I said it won't be long)
Before the Second Coming, yeah
It won't be long, no, it won't be long
How many more good men must die before there's gun control
U've got 2 love your brother if U want 2 free your soul (Soul, soul, soul)

It won't be long (It won't be long)
All of God's, all of God's children must learn 2 love

Forgive me, some of this may be wrong but wasn't there an idea for a live album circa 1981 that was going to be titled The Second Coming as well as a concert film?

OK, glad that I got that right. Sometimes it is hard to keep track of all of his unreleased projects.

Keep in mind that there was also a planned movie of the same title. It was never released though and I don´t know whether it was finished. There were some stills of it here on the org ( black and white, with Susan Moonsie etc.).
