Jesus saves


[intro to Jesus saves spoken by the bum
"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 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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Savatage is an American heavy metal band formed in Tampa, Florida, in the early 1980s. The founding members were brothers Jon Oliva (vocals and keyboards) and Criss Oliva (guitar), along with drummer Steve "Doc" Wacholz. The band quickly gained a solid fan base in Florida and released their debut album, *Sirens*, in 1983. The following year, Savatage signed with Atlantic Records and in 1985 they released their major-label debut, *Power of the Night*, which marked a turning point in their career. After their first significant tour, bassist Johnny Lee Middleton joined the band in late 1985, completing the definitive lineup. Savatage is known for its epic and melodic sound, influenced by progressive rock and classical music. Some of their most representative songs include *Power of the Night*, *Hall of the Mountain King* and *When the Crowds Are Gone*.
