Lyrics

Episode version

Maybe this time.

I'll believe it.

Maybe this time I'll pray.

Maybe this time.

For the first time.

I'll have fun on Sunday.

He will sermonize,

With those hazel eyes.

I've got Buddha,

I've got science,

And now Jesus makes three.

It's gonna happen,

Happen sometime.

Maybe this time,

I'll pray.

Extended version

Maybe this time.

I'll believe it.

Maybe this time I'll pray.

Maybe this time.

For the first time.

I'll have fun on Sunday.

He will sermonize,

With those hazel eyes.

I'm not a skeptic any more.

Like the last time,

And the time before.

Everybody hates a sinner,

So nobody loves me.

I've got Buddha,

I've got science,

And now Jesus makes three.

All the gods of every flavor,

Church is my cabaret.

It's gonna happen,

Happen sometime.

Maybe this time,

I'll pray.
