[Chorus] Jesus, save me Jesus, save me [Verse 1] Can I tell you something? Can I tell you a story? It's about me and Billy 'Cause, 'cause 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 colour was red And the colour was red And he drove me, he drove me out of my mind I'm over it 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 dead saint When he put me there in the back seat, and he'd say [Chorus] Jesus, save me Jesus, save me [Verse 2] Inherited his father's hate is what he'd say And he'd cuss enough to strip the paint off Heaven's gate 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 He'd turn to me and say, he'd, 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 cane He used to make, he used to make me pray Every morning, kneeling in the backseat, "Je-Jesus," He'd make me pray kneeling there and he wanted everything He wanted the honey from the cane "Say it! Even the son of God had to die, my darling Go on, say it!" [Chorus] Jesus, save me Jesus, save me
