The lyrics are interesting but I don't know what he's trying to say. I
can't help but feel that something is there. Anyone care to comment?
Here's the lyrics:


After seven days
He was quite tired so God said:
"Let there be a day
Just for picnics, with wine and bread"
He gathered up some people he had made
Created blanket and laid back in the shade

The people sipped their wine
And what with God there, they asked him questions
Like: do you have to eat
Or get your hair cut in heaven?
And if your eye got poked out in this life
Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

So he said:"Once there was a boy
Who woke up with blue hair
To him it was a joy
Until he ran out into the warm air
He thought of how his friend would come to see;
And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

The people sat waiting
Out on their blankets in the garden
But God said nothing
So someone asked him:"I beg your pardon:
I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke
What that a parabole, or a very subtile joke?"

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him...

Oh, there's *something* there, no doubt about that...part of it seems to be that
when God takes the day off, He doesn't want to be bothered by people who insist
on talking shop...I'm not sure about the boy with the blue hair, and maybe it's
not *supposed* to mean anything (if you insist on finding a meaning in it, that
makes you one of the people who keep asking God to explain it to you)....r

Yeah, like: He gives you picnics and is really kind to you, but he doesn't
even think of explainig it all to you.
