Jesus Saves, I Spend

It's that time of year again, when people make their lists and check them twice. Today has been affectionately called "Black Friday" by many in the retail industry. Why? Most likely because today will be the one day of the year that ensures that they will finish the year in the black financially.

So, today, in the spirit of Black Friday and the blooming holiday spirit, I offer this great little song by St. Vincent.

"Jesus Saves, I Spend" (Lyrics)
St. Vincent

While Jesus is saving, I'm spending all my days
In backgrounds and landscapes
With the languages of saints
While people are spending, like toys on Christmas day
And inside a still life with the other absentee

While Jesus is saving, I'm spending all my daysI
In the garden, great power of lines across your face
While people will cheer on the spectacle we've made
I'm sitting and sculpting menageries of saints

All my men
My absentee
I'd do anything to please
You go my love
The stage is waiting
Be the one to save my saving grace

While Jesus is saving, I'm spending all my grace
On the rosy red power of lights on center stage
While people have cheered on the awful mess we've made
Through storms of red roses we've exited the stage
