I Need a Miracle (Live at Oakland Civic Auditorium, Oakland, CA, December 28, 1979)

[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 got a feeling, feeling today, 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, maybe they'll know what to do

[Chorus]
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

[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
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

[Outro]
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

[Instrumental]
