Lyrics

[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
