I Need A Miracle Lyrics

Lyric discussion by walterbyrd 

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
