God Is A Real Estate Developer lyrics by Michelle Shocked

God is a real estate developer
with offices around the nation

They say one day, he'll liquidate
his holdings up on high
I say it's all speculation

He may be an absentee landlord
and this may be a low rent universe

The roof may need repairs
but at least the floor is there
And the rent is not due till the first

So save one last dance
for the Savior
when that final Hail Mary is said
Life is a dance hall
That's why we've got all those
angels dancing 'round
with pinheads, yeah

The Lord Almighty Limited
and his chosen elect
Sit on the Up on High Development Board
Quoting the Bible as they hoard
The Good Book has a new look
I suspect

So save one last dance
for the Savior
when that final Hail Mary is said
Life is a dance hall
That's why we've got all those
angels dancing 'round
with pinheads

So save one last dance
for the Savior
when that final Hail Mary is said
Life is a dance hall
That's why we've got all those
angels dancing 'round
with pinheads
