jesus was pleased by my story last week
as I stood at the top of the stairs.
pink paint on the walls only muffled my calls
as I delivered my delicate speech
“I was looking for you my god,
I was looking for you!”
loveless and lost I paraded the cost
as I stumbled down the steps out of time
and out the front door I was hungry for more
oh my god, what a terrible crime!
but I was looking for you my dove,
I was looking for you!
when I reached the hotel I was weary as hell
but the doorman just stared at his shoes
my reservation was taken by a nun with a gun
she had a cross around her neck hanging loose
I was looking for sweet, sweet sleep lord
I was looking for sleep!
out past the sands where the aeroplanes land
I thought I might try and dig up a clue.
but I fell asleep with my face on the street
and I dreamed a hundred dreams about you
I was looking for truth, oh god!
I was looking for truth!
