My mind in whirls
Wanders around desire
[Chorus 1]

May I, can I, or have I too often now
Craving miracles?
Craving miracles?
[Verse 2]

Craving miracles?
[Verse 3]
My romantic gene is dominant
And it hungers for union
Universal intimacy

[Chorus 3]
May I, should I, or have I too often
Craved miracles?
May I, can I, or have I too often
Craved miracles?

[Verse 5]
All my body parts are one
As lightning hits my spine
Sparkling
Prime runs through me
Revive my wish
I am inviolable
[Chorus 5]
May I, can I, or have I too often?
May I, can I, should I, or have I too often
Craving miracles?
