my frustration won't subside I've been tried time after time
but it's not my style to quit there is more to life than this
in obscurity or fame we're all playing in this game
searching for something searching for something

looking, looking, looking, you will find find you will be fine

Saturday in the morning and the rain kept falling
brother didn't get no sleep now he's really feeling beat
but there is no time to waste as the devil test his faith
he just walks away on a mission to complete

looking, looking, looking, you will find find you will be fine
looking oh find you will be fine

she has her hand on her jaw as she wonders away
what will tomorrow bring will her dreams just disappear
she find words are hard to say so she prays everyday
she must find a way may the pieces fall into place

frustration won't subside I've been tried time after time
but it's not my style to quit there is more to life than this
in obscurity or fame we're all playing in this game
searching for something searching for something

looking, looking, looking, you will find find you will be fine
looking, looking, looking, you will find find you will be fine
searching for something, looking for something

  • My fave tune is Dragonfly. Hope you don't mind me adding the lyrics. :)

    Everybody's worried about time
    But I just keep that shit off my mind
    People living on twenty four hour clocks
    But we're on a ride that never stops

    Hey mister bee the world change but you remain the same
    And I wonder how you'll survive with the environment going down the drain
    Hey miss dragonfly I see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
    You must be wondering what type of creature am I

    A dog looked at me and said ziggy why can't we trust man
    Puss and me get together why can't you all just understand
    An old tree stood there silently listening to every word we said
    As a tear fell he cried what type of creature is man

    I said hey mister tree the world change but you remain the same
    And i wonder how you survive with the environment going down the drain
    Hey miss butterfly I see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
    You must be wondering what kind of creature am I
    You must be wondering what kind of creature am I

    Everybody's worried about time
    But I just keep that shit off my mind
    People living on twenty four hour clocks
    But we're on a ride yes we're on a ride we're on a ride that never stops

    Hey mister bee the world change but you remain the same
    And I hope you'll survive with the environment going down the drain
    Hey miss butterfly I see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
    You must be wondering what type of creature am I
    You must be wondering what type of creature is man

    Can't resist now: this is it! Yeah

  • soooo awesome...i love you kats!!! thanks :)

    ziggy decided that "looking" would be the 1st encore out of the gates...i was swollowed up whole. truely a beautiful experience. i can't say enough about what he(his music) gives to me, to properly justify it. i suppose the song "love is my religion" sums it up well enough for now...




    Love is my religion, Love is my religion, Love is my religion
    I'll take you to the temple tonight

    All my days I've been searching, to find out what this life is worth
    through the books and bibles of time I've made up my mind
    I don't condemn, I don't convert, this is a calling have you heard
    bring all the lovers to the fold, cause no one is gonna lose their soul

    Love is my religion, Love is my religion, Love is my religion
    hey you can take it or leave it, and you don't have to believe it

    I don't want to fight, hey let's go fly a kite
    there's nothing that we can't cure, and I'll keep you in my arms for sure
    so don't let nobody stop us, free spirits have to soar
    with you I share the gift, the gift that we now know oh oh oh

    ( Chorus )

    Well I'm done searching now, I found out what this life is worth
    not in the books that I find, but by searching my mind
    I don't condemn, I don't convert
    this is the calling have you heard, bring all the lovers to the fold
    no one is gonna lose their soul

    ( Chorus )
  • I was fortunate enuff to Ziggy's Dad, Bob perform live
