  • 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 fucking nut jobs
    They'd laugh and cry
    "We told you so!"

    Baby when I get home
    I want to 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 want to pick up the pieces
    Hammer in the final nail
    And lean me up against Jesus

    Baby when I get home
    I want to 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
