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 don't ask what kind of music i'm gonna play tonight just stay awhile hear for yourself awhile 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 want to be an ancient king too i said oh yes very much but i think my timings wrong they said time is relative or did you misread einstien i said do you really mean it they said what do you think we come here for our goddamn health or something everybody's waiting for the messiah the jews are waiting the christians are waiting also the muslims it's like everybody's waiting they 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 imagine how darned impatient everyone must be getting so i thnk 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 till next year build up the suspense a little make it a really big surprise but i could not resist it's like when you got a really big secret you're just bursting to tell someone it was kinda like that with this and now that i've told you i feel this great weight lifted dr. nusbaum was right he's my therapist he said get it out in the open i spent ten whole 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 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
