[Intro] (A funky bassline kicks in, with a sharp brass stab) Yeah! On a mission... a mission from the great beyond! [Verse 1] Standing on the roadside, in the sun and rain Got this little red bib, to hide my soulful pain You might think I'm just a statue, made of moss and stone But I'm the toughest guardian that you've ever known [Chorus] ("I got that JIZO LOVE, baby, steady and so deep") Watchin' over travelers while the city is asleep ("I got that JIZO LOVE, a stone-cold guarantee") Gonna save your soul from worldly misery! C'mon! [Intense and supremely funky ad-lib performance by the brasses] [Verse 2] Little kids they come to me, with flowers in their hand Whisper all their secrets, I'm the one who understands The wind can blow, the snow can fall, I never make a sound 'Cause I'm the funkiest bodhisattva in this whole damn town! [Chorus] ("I got that JIZO LOVE, a stone-cold guarantee") Watchin' over travelers while the city is asleep ("I got that JIZO LOVE, a stone-cold guarantee") Gonna save your soul from worldly misery! Oh yeah! Oh-! yes! yes! yeah! ("We love JIZO! JIZO! loves us too! Oh, JIZO! JIZO! JIZO! Yeah! ") [Bridge] I can't dance, I can't shout, I can't even move my feet But my spirit's groovin' to a cosmic funky beat This ain't no charity, this ain't no simple grace It's a sacred mission to protect this time and space! [Last climax chorus] Oh-! yeah! yeah! ("We love JIZO! JIZO! loves us too! Oh, JIZO! JIZO! JIZO! Yeah! ") JIZO! JIZO! JIZO! JIZO! yeah! ha! [all vocals sing Outro] Jizo Love! (Stone-cold love!) Jizo Love! (Soul-deep love!) Yeah... Standin' guard... for you... (Music fades out with a final brass flourish)
