If I'm a ticking time bomb
Waiting to blow my top
No one would ever know
Not until I blew up
No one would believe it
He was such a normal man
Shake their heads and wonder why
If Martians fell from the sky
What would that do to God
Would we put the weapon down
Or aim it up at the sky
No one would believe it except the feckin' nut jobs
They'd laugh and cry "we told you so!"
Baby when I get home
I wanna believe in Jesus
Hammer in the final nail
Help me pick up the pieces
When everything starts to fall
So fast that it terrifies you
When will you hit the wall
Are you gonna learn to fly
No one would believe it
Except for all the people
Watching as you fly away
Baby when I get home
I wanna pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
And lean me up against Jesus
Baby when I get home
I wanna believe in Jesus
Hammer in the final nail
Help me pick up the pieces
Baby when I get home
Help me pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
I wanna believe in Jesus
