[intro to Jesus saves spoken by the bum
"Hey, man, got a quarter?
You ain't got nothin' that's ok man, that's ok.
God bless you anyway. Here, I hope I didn't scare you or nothing like that. I, I ain't no bum or nothing
Like that. Yeah, I I use to live uptown once once before too you know. No, no, I did I did really. Use to
Come down here and look at all the characters. Never thought I'd be one of them though. Characters, man a

Use to stand for Down Town Jesus. He use to sell drugs and stuff down there, and they called him - that's
Why we use to call him DeTox. He was one character, one character that made it outa here.
Let me tell you about him."]
Jesus was a talker
Just an out-of-place New Yorker
He hung out on the boulevard
He was sellin' nickel candies
He was saving up all his quarters
Bought himself a cheap guitar
Started playin' bars
Kids came in their cars
Hear them shouting at the stage
Jesus saves
Jesus saves
Yes he does
Jesus saves
You know
Jesus he started changin'
Things got really strange
He saw his tee shirts everywhere
He started missing shows
The band came down to blows
But Jesus he just didn't care
Things got out of hand
And so he quit the band
Still the critics they would rave
Jesus saves
Jesus saves
Yes he does
Jesus saves
So the dice were cast
Today become the past
Jesus just disappeared
He was headed for New York
Or so his little label thought
And there he gave away the years
Last seen drinking wine
Beneath a flashing sign
Promising salvation to strays
Jesus saves
Jesus saves
Yes he does
Jesus saves
Hear him cut through the night
On those late night radio waves
Jesus saves
Yes he does
Jesus saves
The lyrics JESUS SAVES of SAVATAGE is also present in the album Streets (1991)
Savatage è un gruppo musicale heavy metal statunitense formatosi a Tampa, Florida, nei primi anni '80. Il nucleo fondante era composto dai fratelli Jon Oliva (voce e tastiere) e Criss Oliva (chitarra), insieme al batterista Steve "Doc" Wacholz. La band guadagnò rapidamente una solida base di fan in Florida e nel 1983 pubblicò il suo album di debutto, *Sirens*. L'anno successivo, Savatage firmò con la Atlantic Records e nel 1985 uscì il loro album d'esordio per l'etichetta, *Power of the Night*, che segnò un punto di svolta nella loro carriera. Dopo il primo tour di rilievo, al gruppo si unì il bassista Johnny Lee Middleton alla fine del 1985, completando la formazione definitiva. Savatage è noto per il suo sound epico e melodico, influenzato dal progressive rock e dalla musica classica. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano *Power of the Night*, *Hall of the Mountain King* e *When the Crowds Are Gone*.
