Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
God told me to do it
God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
He said God has told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
He heard messages from God
He heard messages from God
Oh, he heard messages from God
And God told him to do it
He says my father is God
He says my father is God
God is my father
My father is God
So he said God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
My father is God
My father is God
My mother is a whore
My mother is a whore
He said God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
My father is God
My father is God, no
But my mother is a whore, no
But my mother is a whore
She is the mother of all whores
And the President of America wakes up
With something dripping from his hands
Dripping an unearthly red
And is it dripping or only tripping?
Is he screaming or is he dreaming?
Is he screaming or is he dreaming?
Or is he tripping, or is he ripping?
Is he tripping, or is he ripping?
I don't know - no!
Because God told him to do it
An unearthly red, an unearthly red
Liar
He's a liar, liar, liar
He's a liar, he's a liar
He's a liar, he's a liar
'Cause he said God told me to do it
'Cause God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
Swallow the Bible, swallow the Bible
Swallow the Bible
Tear a page out and swallow the Bible
He said, he said God told me to do it
Oh yes, he said God told me to do it
My mother is a whore
She is the mother of all wars
She said God told me to do it
She said God told me to do it
She said God told me to do it
...???...
My father is a whore
He caused the mother of all wars
My mother is a whore
She is the mother of all wars
She poured war milk on it (repeated)
My father is God
Oh what a burden: my father is God
But my mother is a whore
She is the mother of all battles
She'd infanticide for cattle
She'd infanticide for cattle
She should be locked inside with cattle
She should be locked inside with cattle
She should be locked inside with cattle
Yes, my mother is my ???
My father is God
My father is God... said my
But my mother is a whore
...???...
She is the mother of all wars
She is the mother of all wars
She is the mother
She is the mother
She is the mother of all wars
God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
He said God has told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
He heard messages from God
He heard messages from God
Oh, he heard messages from God
And God told him to do it
He says my father is God
He says my father is God
God is my father
My father is God
So he said God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
My father is God
My father is God
My mother is a whore
My mother is a whore
He said God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
My father is God
My father is God, no
But my mother is a whore, no
But my mother is a whore
She is the mother of all whores
And the President of America wakes up
With something dripping from his hands
Dripping an unearthly red
And is it dripping or only tripping?
Is he screaming or is he dreaming?
Is he screaming or is he dreaming?
Or is he tripping, or is he ripping?
Is he tripping, or is he ripping?
I don't know - no!
Because God told him to do it
An unearthly red, an unearthly red
Liar
He's a liar, liar, liar
He's a liar, he's a liar
He's a liar, he's a liar
'Cause he said God told me to do it
'Cause God told me to do it
He said God told me to do it
Swallow the Bible, swallow the Bible
Swallow the Bible
Tear a page out and swallow the Bible
He said, he said God told me to do it
Oh yes, he said God told me to do it

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
As one reviewer of Live Four commented, Bush having a tantrumleading to a delerium tremens bout of button-pushing, ie. The End Of The World (As We Know It).
