God Shuffled His Feet Lyrics - God Shuffled His Feet - Crash Test Dummies

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 blankets 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 

People sat waiting out on their blankets in the garden 

But God said nothing so someone asked him 

"Beg your pardon, I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke 

Was that a parabole or a very subtile joke?" 

God shuffled his feet 

And glanced around at them 

The people cleared their throats 

And stared right back at him
