[Chorus]

When I tell you that I love you

Don't test my love

Accept my love

Don’t test my love

Cause maybe I don't love you all that much

[verses]

Don't ask what kind of music I'm gonna play tonight

Just stay awhile

Hear for yourself a while

And if you must put me in a box

Make sure it's a big box

With lots of windows

And a door to walk through

And a nice high chimney

So we can burn, burn, burn everything that we don't like

And watch the ashes

Fly up to heaven

Maybe all the way to India

I'd like that

All the ancient kings came to my door

They said, "Do you wanna be an ancient king too?"

I said, "Oh yes, very much!

But I think my timing's wrong”

They said, "Time is relative!

Or did you misread Einstein?"

I said, "You really mean it?"

They said, "Whaddya think we come here for, our goddamn health or somethin’?"

Everybody's waiting for the Messiah

The Jews are waiting, Christians are waiting

Also the Muslims

It's like everybody's waiting

They've been waiting a long time

I know how I hate to wait

Like even for a bus or something

An important phone call

So I can just imagine

How darned impatient

Everybody must be getting

So I think it's time now, time to reveal myself

I am the Messiah, I am the Messiah

Yes I think you heard me right, I am the Messiah

I was gonna wait 'til next year, build up the suspense a little

Make it a really big surprise

But I could not resist

It's like when you've got a really big secret

You're just bursting to tell someone

It was sort of like that with this

And now that I've told you, I feel this great weight lifted

Doctor Nesbaum was right

He's my therapist

He said, “Get it out in the open!”

I spent ten long days in Jerusalem

Mm Jerusalem

Sweet Jerusalem

And all I ate was olives

Nothing but olives

Mountains of olives

It was a good ten days, I like olives

I like you too

[Chorus]

So when I tell you that I love you

Don't test my love

Accept my love

Don't test my love

Cause maybe I don't love you all that much
