Jesus was a talker
Out-of-place New Yorker
Hung out on the boulevard
Sellin' nickel candies
Saving up all his quarters
Bought himself a cheap guitar
Started playin' bars
The kids came in their cars
You'd hear them shouting at the stage
Jesus saves
Jesus saves
Hear him cut through the night
On your late night radio waves
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
Hear him cut through the night
On your late night radio waves
So the dice were cast
Today become the past
Jesus just disappeared
He was headed for New York
Or so his label thought
And there he gave away the years
Jesus saves
Jesus saves
Hear him cut through the night
On your late night radio waves
