I Need A Miracle Lyrics

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-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
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 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

Cover art for I Need A Miracle lyrics by Grateful Dead

A song about a guy who lives for the extremes. He can never be happy with ordinary blandness. He is not happy just drinking a beer, he wants two whole bottles of the hard stuff, along with some LSD and cocaine. He want to blast down a winding mountain on his Harley at 100 mph.

He tastes in women are reflected in his lifestyle. He doesn't want some little young shy blushing wallflower. He needs Bertha Butt. He needs something out of a Crumb comic. He needs a big, experienced, crazy woman.

For him to really love life takes something miraculous.

@walterbyrd it’s like he’s chasing that next high, never satisfied with just enough
