Jarvis Cocker - I Found Myself Looking for God lyrics

[Jarvis Cocker - I Found Myself Looking for God lyrics]

I was hanging around an aquarium
And I stared at the fish, but the fish
The fish just swum
I was sifting through stuff on a market stall
I had no idea at all what I
Was looking for on a market stall

A vague parade before my eyes
Material goods materialised
I'm not a believer so imagine my surprise
When I found myself looking for God

So I looked for God in an opium den
But the things were good, and I throw up
And then somebody at 7 AM
And I looked for God in a discotheque
I put my head into the basement
And I emerged a total wreck
On a or in a loaf of bread
Bеtween your thighs on an unmade bed
I touched thе infinite i put my finger in it
And much to my surprise
I found myself looking for God

Well, I looked for God scientifically
But worshipping a dolphin doesn't do
A thing for me
You claim the Bible is a work of fiction
Then how do you explain
This morning's crucifixion?

And suddenly before my eyes
I swear he did materialise
I'm a non-believer, so imagine my surprise

I did give praise, I did prostrate myself
I found it when I was not really looking
I guess it's true that every step
You take is holy ground
Now every time that I look into your eyes
Oh, I find myself looking for God

Looking for God looking for God
Looking for God
