lyrics
I woke up in jail
in old number 4 cell
it was the 2nd time this week for stealing
there was another man there
I never noticed before
and he was stareing at me with a feeling
And I was afraid
without saying a word
he said son what are you doing here
I said I'm just a junkie
who was under arrest
for a sickness that keeps me in fear
Yeah I'm used to liveing
off of white rocks and powder
cooked with a very fine fire
and I've sold my soul
even rented my body
so I could fall down and get higher
And thats when I noticed
he had not said a word
and each time I looked he changed colors
he was black and then white
red and then yellow
and hell he could of been anyones brother
Then he walked on over
and sat down beside me
and I noticed the holes in his hands
He said "I think your worth it
and anythings possible
and I'll always love you
little man"
And it was Jesus
Jesus and a junkie
one carries a cross and
the other one carries a monkey
but he turned on the light
and he showed me the way
He said you might be in hell boy
but you dont have to stay
now believe it or not
I'm getting better
they say I might even get well
and I owe it all to a little self worth
and the multi-colored man in 4 cell
