  • Looks to me like heaven sinned
    No lullaby kid, no five percent
    Anyway you wanna cut that cake
    She's a-dyin' from the likes of abandonment
    Lost in a valley without my horses
    She needs somebody to hold

    It looked to me like heaven sent this for
    Your roughest night
    She looks to me
    She looks to me, alright

    Who's gonna take you home
    And hold you when things aren't so bright
    She looks to me
    She looks to me, alright

    It's a long walk down those tracks
    It's a dirty walk in
    It's a dirty walk back
    Gonna learn a way too much
    Shootin' dope in the back of a Cadillac, Jack

    Slow down the road to my back forty
    She needs somebody to hold

    It looked to me like heaven sent this for
    Your roughest night
    She looks to me
    She looks to me, alright

    Who's gonna take you home
    And hold you when things aren't so bright
    She looks to me
    She looks to me, alright

    Down in the south sea
    Give me your mouthpiece
    Resuscitation is the way I found these
    I give you major
    You give me minor
    Don't fade away
    Like an ocean liner, now

    Lost in the valley without my horses
    No one can tell me what my remorse is
    God made this lady that stands before me
    She needs somebody to hold

    She shows the world up with a smile
    And then she throws the fight
    She looks to me
    She looks to me, alright

    Down on the bathroom floor
    She's searching for another light
    She looks to me
    She looks to me, alright

    It looks to me like heaven sent this for
    Your roughest night
    She looks to me
    She looks to me, alright

    Who's gonna take you home
    And hold you when things aren't so bright
    She looks to me
    She looks to me Writer/s: Anthony Kiedis, Chad Smith, John Anthony Frusciante, Michael Balzary
