Jesus Saves

Hey, man, you got a quarter

You ain't got nothing, that's ok man, it's ok, God bless you anyway

Hey, I hope I didn't scare you, nothing like that

I ain't no bomber or nothing

I used to live up town ones before two you know

No, no I did really I did

I used to come down here and look

Look at all the characters

Never thought I'd be one of them though

Characters men, a lot of characters

Hey you got a minute, got a minute

Let me tell a story about this friend of mine

DT Jesus

It use to stand for down town Jesus

We use to sell drugs and stuff down here

And **** use to come spot

We use to call him D-tox

He was one character

One character that made it out of here

Let me tell you about him

Jesus was a talker just

Out of place New Yorker

Hung out on the boulevard He was

Sellin' nickel candies He was

Saving all his quarters He

Bought himself a cheap guitar

Started playing' bars

The kids came in their cars

You'd hear them shouting at the stage

Jesus saves

Jesus saves, yes He does

Jesus saves

Jesus started changin'

Things got really strange

He saw His T-shirts everywhere He

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

What Jesus saves

Jesus saves

Yes He does

Jesus saves

So the dice were cast

Today became the past

Jesus, He just disappeared

He was 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

What Jesus saves

Jesus saves

Yes He does

Jesus saves

Here Him cut through the night

On those late night radio waves

Jesus saves

Yes He does

Jesus saves
