Miracle Mile

Gonna sing it like a song
Gonna sing it mountain high
Gonna sing it river flow
I‘ve been thinking bout it in my thoughts alone
when I hear that voice it’s like soup to the hungry
wanna be the teacher, gonna be the kid
I’m gonna get inside and find out where it’s hid

cause this is it baby
we’re on the miracle mile
trying to give it up and do it with a smile
cause I’m not alone and I’m not giving in
till I find out where this miracle begins

Somedays i get so mad still i get out of bed
put my shoes on and push on ahead
l Iook for something good to say
and gone are the days that i’m surprised or bewildered
by what they’re calling quality
most of it sounds like bullshit to me

Someday is here and tomorrow never comes.

Cause this is it baby
we’re on the miracle mile
trying to give it up and do it with a smile
cause I’m not alone and I’m not giving in
till I find out where this miracle begins

Throw your old skin to the curb
go and get a match
it’s time to light it up and let it burn

Bet you got a woman to keep you warm
don’t mind me I’m over here trying not to do anything wrong
my enthusiasm tends to come on too strong
everybody’s shakin’ it for the camera
yeah you’re beautiful but isn’t there anything else to say uh
like how does it feel now?

cause this is it baby
we’re on the miracle mile
trying to give it up and do it with a smile
cause I’m not alone and I’m not giving in
till I find out where this miracle begins

oh we’re on the miracle,
we’re on the miracle mile...
