Erica Jong - If God is a Dog lyrics

If God is a dog drowsing, contemplating the quintessential dogginess of the universe, of the whole canine race, why are we uneasy? No dog I know would hurl thunderbolts, or plant plague germs, or shower us with darts of pox or gonococci. No. He lies on his back awaiting the cosmic belly rub. He wags his tail signifying universal love. He frolics and cavorts because he has just taken a galactic sh** & found it good. All dogs are blessed; they live in the now. But God is all too human. Somehow we have spelled his name wrong, got it backward, aroused his growl. God drowses like a lazy old man bored with our false alarms.
