Savatage Jesus Saves Lyrics "Hey, man, got a quarter? You ain't got nothin' that's ok man, that's ok. God bless you anyway. Here, I hope I didn't scare you or nothing like that. I, I ain't no bum or nothing like that. Yeah, I use to live uptown once once before too you know. No, no, I did I did really. Use to come down here and look at all the characters. Never thought I'd be one of them though. Characters, man a lot of characters. He he, you got a minute, you got a minute, let me tell you a story about this friend of mine. D.T. Jesus use to stand for Down Town Jesus. He use to sell drugs and stuff down there, and they called him - that's why we use to call him DeTox. He was one character, one character that made it outa here. Let me tell you about him." 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 Yes he does 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 Yes he does 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 Yes he does Jesus saves Hear him cut through the night On those late night radio waves Jesus saves Yes he does Jesus saves
