I Need a Miracle Live in Cairo Egypt September 15 1978 by The Grateful Dead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I need a woman about twice my age
A lady of gentility, nobility and rage
Splendor in the dark, lightning on the draw
We'll go right through the book and break each and every law

[Chorus]
And it's real, believe what I say, hold on
One more thing I just 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
Tell it to the Lord in our midnight rendezvous

[Chorus]
And it's real, believe what I say, hold on
One more thing I've got to say
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 LA
Ride her like a surfer riding on a tidal wave

[Chorus]
And it's real, believe what I say, well, hold on
One thing more 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 got to say
I need a miracle every day

[Bridge]
(I need a miracle every day)
(I need a miracle every day)
(I need a miracle every day)
(I need a miracle, I need a miracle)
(I need a miracle every day)
(I need a miracle every day)
(I need a miracle every day)
(I need a miracle, I need a miracle)
(I need a miracle every day)
(I need a miracle every day)
(I need a miracle every day)
(I need a miracle, I need a miracle)
(I need a miracle every day)
(I need a miracle every day)
(I need a miracle every day)
(I need a miracle, I need a miracle)
[Instrumental]
