Thank You Jack White
(For The Fiber-Optic Jesus That You Gave Me)
Let me tell you a story
About a very special gift I received
From a man I didn't know very well
But he brightened up the night
And made it one of the great shining moments
Of our long tour
Backstage in Detroit
And the room is full of smoke and apprehension
We'd been playing shows
As the warm up and the band for Beck Hansen
In walks Jack, he says, "How'd ya do?"
Then he handed me this wonderful statue
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me"
It shined so bright
That I couldn't help believin' it would save me
When I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me"
(Oh, yeah)
Jack and Meg are funny
They've got a modern backwards liberal family code
Brother and sister playin' rock and roll
And doin' it on the road
I bet that van began to stink
Then I wonder oh what Christ would think
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me"
Come on
It shined so bright
That I couldn't help believin' it would save me
When I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me"
Nice one
