Song Lyrics

"God Went Bowling"

by The Swirling Eddies
Album: Zoom Daddy

God went bowling, got the ball rolling,
Suspends it in air to strike, split, and spare,
While the kingpin is falling as part of his calling,
Makes some of us crack in the gutter and the rack,
And then God made a barrel out of slings and arrows,
Filled it up high with the apples of his eye,
Now the grub worm is snacking on all we are lacking,
Aiming his shots at the cores that he rots.

In the fracas and filth, in the fire and the flood,
In the trash and the tumours, the rash, and the rub,
All us tag team wrestlers get stuck in the mud,
And wrestle against not the flesh and the blood.

God set a table for the blind and disabled,
Served wine, bread and fish, and some mystery dish made of devils and angels, grave plots and cradles, horses and hearses, praises and curses,
See the pillages and wonders, the miracles and plunders,
A stumble, a fall, see the great free-for-all,
Now the rattlesnake is coiling 'round the sheets we are soiling,
He strikes while we're sleeping and sows what we're reaping.

In the fracas and filth, in the fire and the flood,
In the trash and the tumours, the rash, and the rub,
All us tag team wrestlers get stuck in the mud,
And wrestle against not the flesh or the blood.

We want an infinite meddler, a fix-it-quick man,
But he gets off his high horse, gets dirt on his hands,
And he woos us like a lover through each bloody cessation,
Hangs on the cross with the rest of creation.

Oh, God went bowling, He got the ball rolling,
Suspends it in air to strike, split, and spare,
While the kingpin is falling as part of his calling,
Makes some of us crack in the gutter and the rack,
And then God made a barrel out of slings and arrows,
Filled it up high with the apples of his eye,
Now the grub worm is snacking on all we are lacking,
Aiming his shots at the cores that he rots.

In the fracas and filth, in the fire and the flood,
In the trash and the tumours, the rash, and the rub,
All us tag team wrestlers get stuck in the mud,
And wrestle against not the flesh or the blood.

And he woos us like a lover,
Woos us like a lover,
Woos us like a lover,
Woos us like a lover,
Woos us like a lover,
Woos us like a lover,
(fade)
