just use text() again...

does this code help you?
Code:
PFont arial;
int currentTextID = 0;
String texts[] = new String[]{"lorem", "ipsum", "dolor", "sit", "amet"};

void setup()
{
    size(150, 150);
    background(80);
    arial = createFont("Arial", 15);
}

void draw()
{
    background(80);
    textFont(arial);
    fill(255);
    text(texts[currentTextID], 50, height/2);
}

void keyPressed()
{  
    if(key == ENTER)
    {
	  if(currentTextID < texts.length - 1)
	  {
		currentTextID++;
	  }
	  
	  else
	  {
		currentTextID = 0;
	  }
    }
}
