Lyrics I Need a Miracle - Grateful Dead

I Need a Miracle

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 ok
I need a miracle every day.
I need a woman 'bout twice my height
Statuesque, raven-tressed, 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
I 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 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
