Looking For God Lyrics - The Roches

i'm looking for god 

go to a book 

read the words of a story 

but the lover dies 

and the woman is left 

in the bedroom 

with a shadow of herself on the wall 

she falls from the bottom, o no 

but her arms grow 

like pipe cleaners with rubber 

bands inside only prettier 

she taps the sky and the guy 

who died taps back 

that is quite a fairy tale 

gimme something real 

go back re read the very last page 

cracking there to feel 

a fall from the bottom, o no 

how far down do you have to go 

like the red balloon 

with a pink elephant inside 

getting heavier...can't reach the sky 

please everything that died come back 

in this dream of daily life 

i cannot describe 

i recognize the words i read 

in the wrinkles around your eyes 

we all fall down to the bottom...but then 

get lifted up again 

like a soap bubble 

flying past a weeping willow tree 

only prettier 

to tap the sky 

and burst once more to try 

i'm looking for god...
