I NEED A MIRACLE 
(John Perry Barlow / Bob Weir)
The Grateful Dead - 1978


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 and it won't go away, oh no
Just one thing, then I'll be okay
I need a miracle every day

I need a woman 'bout twice my height
Statuesque, raven-dressed, a goddess of the night
Her secret incantations, a 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 her other freight
Find her in a sideshow, leave her in L.A.
Ride her like a surfer running on a tidal wave

And it's real, believe what I say, yeah
Just one 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 I just got to say
I need a miracle every day

I need a miracle every day
I need a miracle every day (got to be the only way)
I need a miracle
I need a miracle.......
