MIRACLE
(for Eddy & Rich)

When I watch you cross the street you make me smile
When I see you out there in the Big World the crowds go wild
Now I feel like a dinosaur raging on a battlefield
I fall down on my knees ask for a Miracle
starting now

Last night at the party
I lost control
Seem like everybody knew
what I had not been told

There’s a Panic in Needle Park
The Monster arrives in the dark
& the floodgates opened for the first time in years
There's a big sad moon out there
our faces are covered with tears
but all I have to do is

watch you fall asleep & you make me smile
when I see you dancing in the Big World the crowds go wild
Now I feel like a madman screaming there's a fire not a false alarm
I fall down on my knees
ask for a Miracle
starting now

See nobody, even me, knows how much I love you
I mean where are the Scales of Love to measure this?

& I'll never run away from you, my friend, no way
& I know that you are protecting yourself from loss
But if you can't trust me, baby
let me get this one point across
all I have to do is

think about you + you make me smile
& when I see you dreaming in the Big World the crowd goes wild
There's a giant white flag in neighborhood calling for a Victory
We fall down on our knees
ask for a Miracle
starting now
