Jesus was a talker
Just an out-of-place New Yorker
He hung out on the boulevard
He was sellin' nickel candies
He was saving up all his quarters
Bought himself a cheap guitar
Started playin' bars
Kids came in their cars
Hear them shouting at the stage
Jesus saves
Jesus saves
Hear him cut through the night
On those late night radio waves
Jesus saves
You know
Jesus he started changin'
Things got really strange
He saw his tee shirts everywhere
He started missing shows
The band came down to blows
But Jesus he just didn't care
Things got out of hand
And so he quit the band
Still the critics they would rave
Jesus saves
Jesus saves
Hear him cut through the night
On those late night radio waves
Jesus saves
Jesus saves
Jesus saves
Hear him cut through the night
On those late night radio waves
Jesus saves
So the dice were cast
Today become the past
Jesus just disappeared
He was headed for New York
Or so his little 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
Hear him cut through the night
On those late night radio waves
Jesus saves
AAAhhh
Hear him cut through the night
cut through the night yeahh
Jesus saves.
