Bring the Newspaper,
draft no. 3
When God shows up
You think you should get out the good china
and the good silver
and the crystal
and you are stressed he might not smile if you
don’t
But I am telling you
It is much better
much much better
that you bring newspaper when God shows up
because he is like a bull in a china shop
and he does not stay put at all
You cannot tame the Lord, you know
What a sad, small world we’ve drawn
if we think so
When the Lord shows up, draft no. 1
When God shows up
You think you
should get out the good china and the good silver and the crystal
And you are so
stressed that he might not smile if you don’t
But I am
telling you
It is much
better
Much better
That you bring
newspaper when God shows up
Because he is
like a bull in a china shop
And he does not
stay put so [at all?]
You cannot tame
the Lord, you know
What a sad, sad
world we’ve made
If we think so
