Jesus save me
Jesus save me
Can I tell you something ?
Can I tell you a story ?
Its about me and billy
Cause I remember
I remember it all started when he bought that car
It was the first thing he'd 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
Im over it now
It was spring or summer sixty five 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 deaths head
When he put me there in the back seat, and he said
Jesus save me
Jesus save me
Inherited his fathers hate that what he'd say
And he custom of destruct the pain of every escape but somehow
He could make joy come 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
Hed turn to me and say
Hed, he'd say even the son of God had to die, my darling
And he wanted everything
He wanted everything
He wanted the honey from the king
Each new moon
He used to make me pray
Every morning
Hidden in the backseat, such jesus
Hed make me pray
And he'd in there when he wanted everything
He wanted the honey from the king
Say it
Even the son of God had to die my darling
Go on, say it!
Jesus save me
Jesus save me
