[00:00.00]The Trailing Skirts of God - Bell X1
[00:17.54]I'm seven years old
[00:20.27]And my bow tie's askew
[00:23.14]Gonna get some body of Jesus Christ
[00:26.25]In a brown velvet suit
[00:29.18]All the girls are dressed
[00:30.78]Like angels
[00:32.25]How sweetly they sang
[00:34.53]
[00:35.27]Oh be not afraid of
[00:38.41]Us delicate meringues
[00:41.47]The trailing skirts of god
[00:43.70]
[00:45.97]The trailing skirts of god
[00:48.19]
[00:50.34]The trailing skirts of god
[00:52.31]Have passed on by
[00:54.03]
[01:23.02]It's five years later and
[01:25.74]I'm on my knees again
[01:27.89]
[01:28.46]I am here to confirm what my
[01:32.05]Parents began
[01:34.34]And I promise to abstain from
[01:37.58]Intoxicating liquor
[01:40.37]But the flesh it is weak
[01:42.58]
[01:43.10]And my faith was never stronger
[01:46.19]
[01:46.72]The trailing skirts of god
[01:48.74]
[01:51.19]The trailing skirts of god
[01:53.76]
[01:55.30]The trailing skirts of god
[01:57.61]Have passed on by
[01:59.44]
[02:01.97]But oh how I cling on
[02:05.32]
[02:07.36]'Cause it's been a rich seam of song
[02:11.06]
[02:13.42]And though it's make believe
[02:15.63]Can I bring myself to leave
[02:18.75]This lie's been burning too long
[02:23.09]
[02:33.90]Sometimes in my teens up in
[02:37.22]Kellyer's bedroom
[02:39.36]Skipping on saturday evening
[02:41.53]Mass for some solvent abuse
[02:45.35]As the world spun around me
[02:48.58]And I eased to the floor
[02:51.27]Must remember to get that sermon
[02:54.23]And keep the wolf from the door
[02:57.83]The trailing skirts of god
[02:59.85]
[03:02.13]The trailing skirts of god
[03:04.65]
[03:06.22]Those trailing skirts of god
[03:08.56]Have passed on by
[03:10.38]
[03:11.89]Passed on by
[03:13.21]
[03:15.02]Passed on by
[03:16.60]
[03:17.52]Passed on by
[03:19.42]
[03:46.11]I've drifted far from you
[03:48.99]In this bloodless coup
[03:52.39]Drifted far from you
[03:55.06]
[03:57.82]Drifted far from you
[04:00.71]In this bloodless coup
[04:03.69]I say good day and adieu
[04:07.12]
[04:09.54]I've drifted far from you
[04:12.54]In this bloodless coup
[04:15.73]I've drifted far from you
[04:18.46]
[04:21.42]I've drifted far from you
[04:24.42]In this bloodless coup
[04:27.17]I say good day and adieu
