         G#m              F#
You know every once in a while
               C#              E
I shoot the breeze I spend my time
             G#m         F#  C#  E
I talk about silly things

I like to talk about Jesus Christ
'Cause I wonder what would happen
if he passed you by

Would you be scared?
Would you believe in him?
Would you bust your asses to get
him institutionalized?

Well, I bet he'd be cool;
well, I bet he'd be damn good looking
Well, I bet that he smelt divine
I'm not talking about Calvin Klein's Obsession
Just one of those people smell good all the time
There's no reason why
What would he wear? Would he wear Tom Hilfiger?
Or be Urban Outfitter? well, I don't think so
Well, I bet he liked Gaultier
But you'd never find him in it;
I bet he liked Gaultier

Chorus:
         G#m         F#
Lord, I need your protection
             C#          E
Spend some time in my direction
         G#m         F#
Lord, I need your protection
             C#          E
Spend some time in my direction
   C#m                D#
I need your protection
            F#           G#m
Spend some time in my direction

You know, every once and a while
I shoot the breeze, I spend my time
I talk about silly things
And tonight I'd like to talk
to you about Jesus Christ
'Cause I wonder how we'd deal if
He just passed you by
Well, I bet he'd be a star
Well, I bet my star wars figures
He would be a movie star
A Quentin Tarantino next-big-thing
Prima Donna, then He'd appear on Oprah
You know what? Well, I don't think so

Well, could you imagine him
Hanging Piccadilly Circus, Times Square
The Walk of Fame At Christies
He could easily become a regular
Do you know what? well,
I don't think so
Well, I bet my speeder bike he'd
turn his back on all of that

Chorus

Some people have just got it
You know like standing next to Elvis Presley
Well, then multiply that feeling by one million
And you know what I'm talking about
'Cause, I'll bet he was cool
Man, I bet that cowboy was so damn good looking,
baby, yeah
Ooh, yeah yeah
