Roches - Looking For God lyrics

rate me

I'm looking for god<br />

Go to a book<br />

Read the words of a story<br />

But the lover dies<br />

And the woman is left<br />

In the bedroom<br />

With a shadow of herself on the wall<br />

<br />

She falls from the bottom, o no<br />

But her arms grow<br />

Like pipe cleaners with rubber<br />

Bands inside only prettier<br />

She taps the sky and the guy<br />

Who died taps back<br />

<br />

That is quite a fairy tale<br />

Gimme something real<br />

Go back re read the very last page<br />

Cracking there to feel<br />

<br />

A fall from the bottom, o no<br />

How far down do you have to go<br />

Like the red balloon<br />

With a pink elephant inside<br />

Getting heavier...can't reach the sky<br />

Please everything that died come back<br />

<br />

In this dream of daily life<br />

I cannot describe<br />

I recognize the words i read<br />

In the wrinkles around your eyes<br />

<br />

We all fall down to the bottom...but then<br />

Get lifted up again<br />

Like a soap bubble<br />

Flying past a weeping willow tree<br />

Only prettier<br />

To tap the sky<br />

And burst once more to try<br />

<br />

I'm looking for god...
