The Trailing Skirts of God Lyrics
I’m seven years old
And my bow-tie’s askew
Gonna get some body of Jesus Christ
In a brown velvet suit
All the girls are dressed like angels
How sweetly they sang
Oh be not afraid of
Us delicate meringues
The trailing skirts of God [x3]
Have passed on by
It’s five years later and
I’m on my knees again
I am here to confirm what my
Parents began
And I promise to abstain from intoxicating liquor
But the flesh, it is weak
And my faith was never stronger
The trailing skirts of God [x3]
Have passed on by
But oh how I cling on
'Cos it’s been a rich seam of song
And though it’s make-believe
Can I bring myself to leave
This lie’s been burning too long
Sometimes in my teens

Up in Kellyer’s bedroom
Skipping on Saturday evening mass for some solvent abuse
As the world spun around me
And I eased to the floor
Must remember to get that sermon
And keep the wolf from the door
The trailing skirts of God [x3]
Have passed on by...
I’ve drifted far from you
In this bloodless coup
I’ve drifted far from you
In this bloodless coup
I say good-day and adieu
[Repeating]
