Jesus Christ Superstar Soundtrack The Temple Lyrics

The Temple Lyrics

(Moneylenders and Merchants) 

 Roll on up -- for my price is down

 Come on in -- for the best in town

 Take your pick of the finest wine

 Lay your bets on this bird of mine 

 

 Name your price I got everything

 Come and buy it's all going fast

 Borrow cash on the finest terms

 Hurry now while stocks still last 

 

 (Jesus) 

 

 My temple should be a house of prayer

 But you have made it a den of thieves

 Get up, get out 

 

 My time

 Is almost through

 Little left to do

 After all

 I've tried for three years

 Seems like thirty

 Seems like thirty 

 

 (Crowd) 

 

 See my eyes I can hardly see

 See me stand I can hardly walk

 I believe you can make me whole

 See my tongue I can hardly talk 

 

 See my skin I'm a mass of blood

 See my legs I can hardly stand

 I believe you can make me well

 See my purse I'm a poor, poor man 

 

 Will you touch, will you mend me Christ?

 Won't you touch, will you heal me Christ?

 Will you kiss, you can heal me Christ

 Won't you kiss, won't you pay me Christ? 

 

 (Jesus) 

 

 Oh, there's too many of you, don't push me

 Oh, there's too little of me, don't crowd me

 Heal yourselves!
