Testo Chocolate Jesus - live - Tom Waits
Testo della canzone Chocolate Jesus - live (Tom Waits), tratta dall'album At the terminal - Burbank Airport '99 (live)
This is, um, we're gonna redo "Chocolate Jesus"
I'm glad it's one you wanna hear twice
It's one you're gonna be hearing a lot on the radio, I'm sure
AM
Oh, um, story? Do I need a story?
We don't need a story, you see?
Okay, now you see now before I, it's, like, more stories
And then I have one and then they say, "Don't use it"
Oh, okay
When I was a kid, my, um, um, we used to go visit my uncle Robert
And, um, my uncle Robert, uh, was an organist at the church and
He bought the organ from the church, he loved the organ so much
Eh, he wanted that organ, and he took it out of the church and
He put it in his own living room, and, and he had the pipes going
Up through the ceiling and, you know, and I was like, you know
I was like seven, eight years old, and I just, it was the most
Amazing place to go to because there was, there were, uh, clothes
All over the floor and, you know, it was just, uh, there was a
Broken window and it hadn't been fixed, and, you know, the wallpaper
Was coming down and, and, you know, and I said, "This is living"
And, uh, I said, "This is show business"
And, uh, I asked my mom why I couldn't keep my room that way
She said, "Tom, your uncle Robert is blind"
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist
True story
Alright, here we go
Get your Chocolate Jesus and get 'em while they're hot
Step right up, everyone's a winner
Got bargains galore, that's right, you too can be the proud
Owner 'cause the quality goes in before the name goes on
How 'bout perfume? We got perfume
How 'bout an engagement ring? Something for
The little lady, something for the little lady
Three for a dollar
Get away from me, kid, you bother me
Get your Chocolate Jesus and get it now
I don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Now you see, we gotta start again because that was the
Problem with the earlier take was there was feedback
I apologize for that
Well, get your Chocolate Jesus and get
Your Chocolate Jesus while they're hot
Everybody wants to have a Chocolate Jesus
And everyone deserves a Chocolate Jesus
What's more, you've earned it
Well, I don't go to church on Sunday
I don't get down on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
'Cause I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more
I fall down on my knees every Sunday
At the candy store
And I got to have a Chocolate Jesus
Makes me feel so good inside
It's got to be a Chocolate Jesus
To keep me satisfied
Well, I don't want no Abba-Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
There ain't nothing that's better
And suitable for this boy
Well, it's the only thing that can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
And only a Chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul, yeah
When the weather gets rough
Spending some whiskey in the shade
Best to wrap your Savior up in cellophane
She flows like the big muddy, but that's okay
Pour 'em over ice cream for a nice parfait
Well, I got to be a Chocolate Jesus
Makes me feel so good inside
You got to be a Chocolate Jesus
To keep me satisfied
Well, I got to be a Chocolate Jesus
Make me feel so good inside
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus
To keep me satisfied
Oh, you got to keep, keep a-me satisfied
Got to keep me satisfied
Yeah, you got to keep a-me satisfied
Thank you
Thank you
