Lyrics
Spoken- Let me tell ya a story about a very special gift I received from a, from a man that I didn't know very well. But he brightened up the night and made it one of the great shining moments of our long tour. Goes like this- Backstage in Detroit And the room is full of smoke and apprehension We'd been playing shows As the warm-up and the band for Beck Hanson In walks Jack, says - "How'd ya do?" (Oh yeah) Then he handed me this wonderful statue. And I said, "Thank you Jack White For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me." It shined so bright That I couldn't help believin' it would save me. When I finally got it home My whole neighborhood was aglow And I said, "Thank you Jack White For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me." (Here comes the pick) (Oh Yeah) Jack and Meg are funny They got a modern backwards-liberal family code Brother and sister Playing rock 'n' roll and doing it on the road I bet that van begin to stink But then I wonder - oh - what Christ would think. I said, "Thank you Jack White For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me." It shined so bright That I couldn't help believin' it would save me. And when I finally got it home My whole neighborhood was aglow And I said, "Thank you Jack White For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me." (Nice one)
