I Need a Miracle (Live at Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA, March 27, 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 that 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, well, let me in
Think you can, but you can't run away
Oh, 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, believe what you did on your land, yeah
One thing more I just got to say
I need a miracle every day, yeah
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, I need a miracle (Must have a miracle)
I need a miracle every day (Yeah, some kind of miracle)
I need a miracle every day (Some, some kind of miracle)
I need a miracle every day (Yeah, some kind of miracle)
I need a miracle, I need a miracle
