The Grateful Dead
I Need a Miracle (Live at Madison Square Garden, NYC, September, 16, 1990)
[Verse 1]
I need a woman about twice my age
A lady of nobility, gentility and rage
Splendor in the dark, lightning on the draw
We'll go right through the book and break each and every law

[Chorus]
I gotta believe me today, yeah
Just one thing that I gotta 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 with a candle burning blue
Raise up the spirits in a midnight rendezvous

[Chorus]
Well, it's real, believe me today, yeah
Can't get around it and you 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]
And it's real, believe what I say, oh yeah
One more thing that I 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 (Every day)
I need a miracle every day (Some kind of miracle)
I need a miracle, I need a miracle
I need a miracle every day (Must have some kind of miracle)
I need a miracle every day (Some kind of miracle)
I need a miracle every day (Yeah)
I need a miracle, I need a miracle

[Instrumental]
