I Need a Miracle Songtext
von Grateful Dead

I need a woman ′bout 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

I got a feeling, feeling today, yeah
Just one thing that I got to say
I need a miracle every day

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, maybe they′ll know what to do

And it's real, believe what I say, oh yeah
Can't run 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 her other freight
Find her in a sideshow, leave her in LA
Ride her like a surfer riding on a tidal wave

And it's real, believe what I say, oh yeah
Just one thing that I got to say
I need a miracle every day
To get me up
Too much of everything just ain′t enough
One more thing that I got to say
I need a miracle every day

I need a miracle every day (every day)
I need a miracle every day (ooh, every day)
I need a miracle every day (yeah, yeah)
I need a miracle (some kind of miracle), I need a miracle (some kind of miracle)
I need a miracle every day (hey, hey, I need a miracle)
I need a miracle every day (Lord know just what I'm talking about, yeah)
I need a miracle every day (hey, yeah, hey, yeah)
I need a miracle (yeah), I need a miracle
