Dark Bilious Vapors

Since Loofah Man is at his Christmastian falafel rant and drooling rave yet again - and DANG EARLY too - It’s time to break out my holiday version of “Looking for God in all the Wrong Places.”

[Apologies to Waylon Jennings.]

Lookin' for GOD

I've spent a lifetime looking for you
TV Evangelists and gospel singers too, never true
Playing a fools game, hoping to win
Telling those sweet lies and losing again.

I was looking for GOD in all the wrong places
Looking for GOD in too many faces
Searching those scripts, looking for traces
Of what.. I'm dreaming of...
Hopin' to find a Prophet and a teacher
Would bless the day I discover
A church with a wing and a prayer.

I…I'm lookin' for GOD.

I was alone in shopping malls, no GOD in sight
And I did everything I could to get me through the night.
Government offices and corridors too
No GOD I sight, what could I do…

I…I'm lookin' for GOD.

I was looking for GOD in all the wrong places
Looking for GOD in too many faces
Searching those scripts, looking for traces
Of what.. I'm dreaming of...
Hopin' to find a Prophet and a teacher
Would bless the day I discover
Another heart, lookin' for GOD.

I turn to Fox News, just like a friend
Bill O'Reilly came a'knocking at my door..
He's everything I've been looking for…
A loofah and grin, He said, "I pay my taxes…
How could they ignore my religious practices…"

And we went…Lookin' for GOD.

No more looking for GOD in all the wrong places
Krauthammer claims it's in everyone's faces
Searching their eyes and you'll see the traces
Of what.. I'm dreaming of...
With all my faith I should find
Other religions represented in kind…

I…I'm lookin' for GOD.

I was looking for GOD in all the wrong places
Looking for GOD in too many faces
Searching those scripts, looking for traces
Of what.. I'm dreaming of...
Hopin' to find a Prophet and a teacher
Would bless the day I discover
A church with a wing and a prayer.

I…I'm Lookin for GOD.
