Jesus wrote a blank check
one I haven't cashed quite yet
I hope I've got a little more time
I hope it's not the end of the line
yeah, Jesus wrote a blank check
one I haven't cashed yet, all right
but if I had to choose a number
I'd want it to be number one
I don't want to be number two
yeah, I don't want to be number four
but I can hear a knock on the door
Jesus wrote a blank check, all right

if Jesus saw me dying
would angels come a flying down?
I hope I've got a little more time
I hope somebody lends me a dime
now, Jesus wrote a blank check
ah, one I haven't cashed yet

still I build my towers high
I watch them pierce the blue, blue sky
still I wallow in the mire
still I burn this earthen fire
still I build my towers high
I watch them pierce the blue, blue sky
still I wallow in the mire
still I burn this earthen fire
still I burn this earthen fire
still I burn this earthen fire
still I burn this earthen fire
still I burn this earthen fire
still I burn this earthen fire
still I burn this earthen fire
still I burn this earthen fire
