I Need A Miracle
Lyrics: John Perry Barlow
Music: Bob Weir
_______________________________________
I need a woman 'bout twice my age
A lady of nobility, gentility and rage
A splendour in the dark, lightning on the draw
Who'll go right through the book and break each and every law
I got a feelin'
And it won't go away, oh no
Just one thing and I'll be OK
I need a miracle every day
I need a woman 'bout twice my height
Statuesque, raven-tressed, a goddess of the night
A secret incantation, candle burning blue
We'll consult the spirits, maybe they'll know what to do
And it's real
And it won't go away, oh no
Can't get around and I can't run away
I need a miracle every day
I need a woman 'bout twice my weight
A ton of fun who packs a gun with all that other freight
Find her in a side-show, leave her in LA
Ride her like a surfer riding on a tidal wave
And it's real
Believe what I say
Just one thing that I gotta say
I need a miracle very day
It takes dynamite to get me up
Too much of everything is just enough
One more thing that I gotta say
I need a miracle every day
