[Verse 1]
In the night
With voices low, low, low
And all the cars
Are off the road
[Chorus]
That's when Heaven's nail and hammer
Starts nailing holes in the sky
And I see Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Through the holes

Nailing holes in the sky

We'll see Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Through the holes
We'll see Heaven's nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky

And if you're lucky, if you're lucky
You join that heavenly crew
Look up there, little kid
Way up there, little kid
And don't see if I do
[Chorus]
Join that Heaven's nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky
Heaven, Heaven, Heaven's
Through the holes
You'll see Heaven's nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky
You'll see Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Through the holes
