Regina Spektor - Baby Jesus Regina Spektor - Baby Jesus |
| 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
