Jesus save me
|
Jesus save me
|
|
Can I tell you something
|
Can I tell you a story
|
It's about me and billy
|
Because I remember
|
I remember it all started when he bought that car
|
It was the first thing he ever owned apart from me
|
And the color was red
|
And the color was red and he drove me
|
He drove me out of my mind
|
I'm over that now
|
It was spring or summer 65 I don't remember
|
Steaming and sweating and sticking against the wheel
|
And I could see the tendons stand out in the back of his neck
|
And he used to make me pray, wearing a mask like a death's head
|
When he put me there in the back seat, and he said
|
|
Jesus save me
|
Jesus save me
|
|
And everybody's father is hated for what he was saying
|
And he doesn't
|
He'd reluctantly cut loose inside
|
I would feel really i would feel really and truly alive
|
And i would do anything for him,
|
It just wasn't enough
|
It was never enough, he'd turn to me and say
|
He'd, he'd say "even the son of god had to die, my darling"
|
And he'd
|
And he'd
|
He'd
|
|
Jesus!
|
He'd make me pray. . .
|
|
Even the son of god had to die my darling
|
Come on, say it!
|
|
Jesus save me
|
Jesus save me
|
