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
