Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled His Feet lyrics

rate me

After seven days

He was quite tired so God said:

"Let there be a day

Just for picnics, with wine and bread"

He gathered up some people he had made

Created blanket and laid back in the shade

The people sipped their wine

And what with God there, they asked him questions

Like: do you have to eat

Or get your hair cut in heaven?

And if your eye got poked out in this life

Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;

The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

So he said:"Once there was a boy

Who woke up with blue hair

To him it was a joy

Until he ran out into the warm air

He thought of how his friend would come to see;

And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;

The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

The people sat waiting

Out on their blankets in the garden

But God said nothing

So someone asked him:"I beg your pardon:

I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke

*Whas* that a parable, or a very subtle joke?"

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;

The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him
