==============



Jesus was a talker

Out of place New Yorker

Hung out on the boulevard

Sellin' nickel candies

Saving all his quarters

Bought himself a cheap guitar

Started playing' bars

The kids came in their cars

You'd hear them shouting at the stage



Chorus



Jesus saves

Jesus saves



Jesus started changin'

Things got really strange

He saw his tee shirts everywhere

Started missing shows

The band came down to blows

But Jesus He no longer cared



Things got out of hand

And so he quit the band

But still the critics they would rave



Jesus saves

Jesus saves

Her him cut through the night

On your late night radio waves



So the dice were cast

Today became the past

And Jesus He just disappeared

Headed for New York

Or so his label thought

And there he gave away the years



Last seen drinking wine

Beneath a flashing sign

Promising salvation to strays



Jesus saves

Jesus saves

Her Him cut through the night

On your late night radio waves
