God Went Bowling

God went bowling
 got the ball rolling
 suspends it in air
 to strike, split, and spare
 while the king pin is falling
 as part of his calling
 makes some of us crack
 in the gutter and the rack
 and then God made a barrel
 out of slings and arrows
 and filled it up high
 with the apples of his eye
 now the grub worm is snacking
 on all we are lacking
 aiming his shots
 at the cores that he rots
 in the fracas and filth
 in the fire and the flood
 in the trash and the tumors
 the rash, and the rub
 all us tag team wrestlers
 get stuck in the mud
 and wrestle against
 not the flesh or the blood
 God set a table
 for the blind and disabled
 served wine bread and fish
 and some mystery dish
 made of devils and angels
 grave plots and cradles
 horses and hearses
 praises and curses
 see the pillages and wonders
 the miracles and plunders
 a stumble, a fall
 see the great free-for-all
 now the rattle snake is coiling
 round the sheets we are soiling
 he strikes while we're sleeping
 and sows what we're reaping
 in the fracas and filth
 in the fire and the flood
 in the trash and the tumors
 the rash, and the rub
 all us tag team wrestlers
 get stuck in the mud
 and wrestle against
 not the flesh or the blood
 we want an infinite meddler
 a fix-it-quick man
 but he gets off his high horse,
 gets dirt on his hands
 and he woos us like a lover
 through each bloody cessation
 and hangs on the cross
 with the rest of creation
 oh, God went bowling
 got the ball rolling
 suspends it in air
 to strike, split, and spare
 while the king pin is falling
 as part of his calling
 makes some of us crack
 in the gutter and the rack
 and then God made a barrel
 out of slings and arrows
 and filled it up high
 with the apples of his eye
 now the grub worm is snacking
 on all we are lacking
 aiming his shots
 at the cores that he rots
 in the fracas and filth
 in the fire and the flood
 in the trash and the tumors
 the rash, and the rub
 all us tag team wrestlers
 get stuck in the mud
 and wrestle against
 not the flesh or the blood
 and he woos us like a lover
 woos us like a lover
 woos us like a lover
