A "Personal Jesus" Mashup

Your own personal jesus
Someone to hear your prayers

Fade in - a ringing telephone. CASEY "Hello."

MAN'S VOICE (from phone) "Hello."

Someone who cares
Your own personal jesus

CASEY "Yes."

MAN "Who is this?"

CASEY "Who are you trying to reach?"

MAN "What number is this?"

CASEY "What number are you trying to reach?"

Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who’s there

The phone RINGS again.

CASEY "Hello."

MAN "I'm sorry. I guess I dialed the wrong number."

CASEY "So why did you dial it again?"

MAN "To apologize."

Feeling unknown
And you’re all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone

CASEY "What?"

MAN "I want to talk to you for a second."

CASEY "They've got 900 numbers for that. Seeya."

Lift up the receiver
I’ll make you a believer

The phone RINGS again.

CASEY "Hello. Who is this?"

MAN "You tell me your name, I'll tell you mine."

CASEY "I don't think so."

Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess

MAN "You never told me your name."

CASEY "Why do you want to know my name?"

MAN "Because I want to know who I'm looking at."

I will deliver
You know I’m a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

CASEY "What did you say?"

MAN "I want to now who I'm talking to."

CASEY "That's not what you said."

Your own personal jesus...

CASEY "I have to go now." CLICK.

Feeling unknown
And you’re all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone

THE PHONE RINGS.

CASEY "Yes? What do you want?"

MAN "To talk." CLICK.

Lift up the receiver
I’ll make you a believer

THE PHONE RINGS.

CASEY "What do you want?"

MAN "To talk."

CASEY "Listen, asshole..."

I will deliver
You know I’m a forgiver

MAN "NO, YOU LISTEN, YOU LITTLE BITCH. IF YOU HANG UP ON ME AGAIN I'LL GUT YOU LIKE A FISH. UNDERSTAND?"

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal jesus

Reach out and touch faith
