Lyrics
[Verse] Silver leaves are spinning 'round Take my hand as we go down and down and down Looking for water But I lost God in a New York minute Don't know about you but my heart's not in it (Looking, looking, looking) I'm looking for water I'm looking for water (Looking, looking, looking) I can't breathe the air, can't raise the fight 'Cause all we've got left is a beat in the night and I'm (Looking for water) Looking for water (Looking for water, looking, looking) Take my hand as we go down and down Leave it all behind, nothing will be found (I'm looking for water) I'm looking for water (Looking for water, looking, looking) (I'm looking for water) Looking everywhere (Looking for water) Looking here and there (I'm looking for water) I'm looking for water (Looking for water, looking, looking) I can't live in this cage, I can't eat this candy To the ends of the Earth, to this pain in my head The look in your eyes that never means never The dawn's early light, baby, dumb is forever [Refrain] (Looking, looking) (Looking, looking) [Outro] Looking for water, looking, looking I'm looking for water Looking for water, looking, looking I'm looking for water Looking for water, looking, looking I'm looking for water Looking for water, looking, looking I'm looking for water Looking for water, looking, looking I'm looking for water Looking for water
