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
