The Grateful Dead
I Need A Miracle (Live at Brendan Byrne Arena, East Rutherford, NJ, April 1, 1988)
[Verse 1]
I need a woman about twice my age
A lady of gentility, nobility and rage
Splendor in the dark, lightning on the draw
We'll go right through the book and break each and every law

[Chorus]
Every day, believe what you do, yeah
Just one thing I got to say
I need a miracle every day

[Verse 2]
I need a woman about twice my height
Statuesque, raven-dressed, a goddess of the night
Her secret incantations, a candle burning blue
Raise up the spirits in a midnight rendezvous

[Chorus]
'Cause it's real, believe me when I say
Think you can run, and I can't run away
I need a miracle every day

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I need a woman about twice my weight
A ton of fun who packs a gun with all her other freight
Find her in a sideshow, leave her in L.A
Ride her like a surfer riding on a tidal wave
[Chorus]
'Cause it's real, woo, hey, hey
One more thing I just got to say
I need a miracle every day
It takes dynamite to get me up
Too much of everything is just enough
One more thing that I just got to say
(I need a miracle every day)

[Outro]
I need a miracle every day (Every day)
I need a miracle every day (Must have a miracle)
I need a miracle every day (Some kind of miracle)
I need a miracle (A miracle), I need a miracle (Some kind of miracle)
I need a miracle every day (Must have a miracle)
I need a miracle every day (Some kind of miracle)
I need a miracle every day (Yeah, yeah, some kind of miracle)
I need a miracle, I need a miracle (Yeah)
