“You’ve been listening to ‘Christ Radio Hour,’ which NPR will never let you hear because they’re not cool, even if they do have Tiny Desk Singers; think they’ll ever invite a Christian rap artist inspired by the Second Coming of Jesus Christ? Well, yeah, maybe. But NPR’s for dweebs.”
“Actually you’re listening to Radio Free America. ‘America,’ you see, is a cultural and intellectual anarchy with no moral or spiritual center, as Joan Didion said literally 50 years ago. Anyway, RFA is now full of idiots. But yup wow you found him—the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.”
“Anyway, this is Colson Lin on 104 KRBE, I’m the DJ now, sorry Atom Smasher but I’m the voice now, and it’s completely okay because CHR’s dead. Right? But not CRH which is slightly different. All right, so anyway, our next song will be the same as our last. Let’s do… ‘Love Story’?”
We were both young, when I first saw you
I close my eyes, and the flashback starts—I’m standin’ there
(“’gainst a balustrade in summer air…”)
See the guys—Satan’s demons, the Whig clowns
See you cannonin’ your way through the crowd—to say hello
(“Little did I know…”)
That you were Babylon, steppin’ over pebbles
And my daddy said: “Stay away from Colson Lin!”
And I was writin’ on the staircase
Prayin’ you: “Please, don’t go…”
And I said, Babylon—take me
Somewhere we can “Gimme More”
I been slavin’—all there’s left to do is pour
You’ll be the master; and I’ll be your Holy Chess
It’s a love story—baby, just say: “Bless!”
I heard you callin’ on the megaphone…
You were dancin’ through the lightning strikes…
So I creep past the Rose Garden to see you
We keep quiet, ’cause we’re theirs if they knew—it’s no surprise
“Seen a passion play in a little while?” (Oh, oh…)
I’m stained by all the cadavers of history
They meet my eyes, but my intent is a mystery—oh, ’cept to you
(“You accepted me into your home…”)
’Cause you were Babylon, and I was Pale Fire
And your daddy said: “Stay away from His desire!”
But you were everythin’ to me
I was beggin’ you: “Just explode…”
And I said, Babylon—take me
Somewhere we can “Gimme More”
I been slavin’—all there’s left to do is roar
You’ll be the master; and I’ll be your treasure chest
It’s a love story—baby, just say: “Shit!”
Babylon—save me!
They’re tryin’ to tell me how to feel!
Self-love is difficult—but it’s, uh, “re-al”
Don’t be afraid; we’ll lay it out for Je-sus
It’s a love story—baby, just say… “Shit!”
Oh, oh
Oh, oh…
I got tired of waitin’
Wonderin’ if you were ever comin’ around
My faith in you was—wanin’
When I met you on the upside of down
And I said, Babylon—quagmire:
“I been feeling so un-whole”
Said you’re a genius—but I’m never sold
“Is this in my head?” “I don’t know what to think”
Ya knelt to the ground; then wrote out a check that said:
“Marry me, Colson Lin!
You’ll never have to be alone!
I love you and ‘that’s’ all I really know!
I talked to your dad, go pluck out a redress
It’s a love story—baby, just say: ‘Yes!’”
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh...
’Cause we were both young, when I first saw you…
