Bell X1 - The Trailing Skirts Of Love lyrics

I'm seven years old And my bow-tie's askew Gonna get somebody 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 The trailing skirts of God The trailing skirts of God Have pa**ed 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 The trailing skirts of God Yeah, the trailing skirts of God Have pa**ed on by But oh, how I cling on 'Cause 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 ma** For some solvent abuse And as the world spun around me And I eased to the floor Must remember to get that sermon Keep the wolf from the door, yeah The trailing skirts of God The trailing skirts of God Oh, trailing skirts of God Have pa**ed on by Pa**ed on by, pa**ed on by I've drifted far from you In this bloodless coup I've drifted far from you I've drifted far from you In this bloodless coup I say good day and adieu I've drifted far from you In this bloodless coup I've drifted far from you I've drifted far from you In this bloodless coup I say good day and adieu
