Regina Spektor - Baby Jesus

Tekst :

You know that statue
that statue of baby jesus
in the window
in the window of the 99 cent store
last night I saw the owner kiss it
and whisper in its ear
I was walking home from walgreen s
and he did not hear me see him
and on the
very very next morning
all the subway cars were hallelu-leluing
welcome back the baby king, the baby king
all the believers they were smiling
and winking at each other
I could honestly say I was scared for my life

they said, all the non-believers they get to eat dirt
and the believers get to spit on their graves...

you know that statue
that statue of baby jesus
in the window
in the window of the 99 cent store
they ve been showing it on the news
it was thirty times its size
with a megaphone and a heart-shaped bruise
it was hovering in the skies
and all the
subway cars were hallelu-lelu-leluing, hallejuah
welcome back the baby king, the baby king
all the believers they were smiling
and winking at each other
I could honestly say I was scared for my life

they said, all the non-believers they get to eat dirt
and the believers get to spit on their graves...
believe!...

you know that statue
that statue of baby jesus
in the window
in the window of the 99 cent store
when I woke up I ran and bought it
and locked it in my closet
with a little bread and water
and a flashlight and a first aid kit til he grows

    Untitled track five

    We are in tune with old, now feel-feel it.
    Feel better supposed to
    say it was something new, one by one
    (all we are is no one)
    This won t mean a thing.

    Were you feeling so sad?
    Were you feeling so sad?

    I overheard you once, this has on gone before.
    kinda like the way you move...

    In for the kill

    Thunder shattered the dawn
    Raging with fury, the king has come
    The power of terror will reign
    There is no mercy in pleading

    In for the kill, no quarter be shown
    Live for the thrill of battle alone
    Blessed by the will to...

    All aboard (Ride it)

    [BRIDGE:]
    Uh huh huh (ridin ) uh huh huh (ridin ) uh huh huh (ridin ) uh huh(that train)
    Uh huh huh (ridin ) uh huh huh (ridin ) uh huh huh (ridin )! ALL ABOARD!

    [VERSE 1:]
    (Aye) They tell me do it how I do...

    Memories to dust

    Reveal your source to me
    Hold your hands out for me

    To withdraw them in time
    The reasons become obscured

    These scars in my heart
    prove my undying affection
    The memories still so fresh
    remind me of my infection

    Heal not the wounds on me
    Let them...
