Waiting for the Miracle (Natural Born Killers)

Baby, I've been waiting,

I've been waiting night and day

I didn't see the time,

I waited half my life away

There were lots of invitations

And I know you sent me some

But I was waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to come

I know you really loved me

But, you see, my hands were tied

And I know it must have hurt you,

It must have hurt your pride

To have to stand beneath my window

With your bugle and your drum

And me I'm up there waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to comeAh I don't believe you'd like it,

You wouldn't like it here

There ain't no entertainment

And the judgments are severe

The Maestro says it's Mozart

But it sounds like bubble gum

When you're waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to comeWaiting for the miracle

There's nothing left to do

I haven't been this happy

Since the end of World War IINothing left to do

When you know that you've been taken

Nothing left to do

When you're begging for a crumb

Nothing left to do

When you've got to go on waiting

Waiting for the miracle to comeI dreamed about you, baby

It was just the other night

Most of you was naked

Ah but some of you was light

The sands of time were falling

From your fingers and your thumb

And you were waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to comeAh baby, let's get married

We've been alone too long

Let's be alone together

Let's see if we're that strong

Yeah let's do something crazy,

Something absolutely wrong

While we're waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to comeNothing left to do

When you know that you've been taken

Nothing left to do

When you're begging for a crumb

Nothing left to do

When you've got to go on waiting

Waiting for the miracle to comeWhen you've fallen on the highway

And you're lying in the rain,

And they ask you how you're doing

Of course you'll say you can't complain

If you're squeezed for information,

That's when you've got to play it dumb

You just say you're out there waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to come
