Miracle Man (alternate version)


Let's take a look at the situation
Size it up right from the start
We've been together just a little too long
We're a little bit loose and it's tearing us apart
Why do you cease to amuse me?
I heard the lady cry
I never thought that so much trouble
Was resting upon reply

Keep repeating that number
Keep on waving your hand
Don't you know that walking on the water
Won't make you a Miracle Man

She had a silent witness
That was laughing at this episode
I know a man who's living in chains
Running up and down the same steady road
Close to his destination
It's going to break his heart
But when they turn those street lights up
He'll wish he was back at the start

Keep repeating that number
Keep on waving your hand
Don't you know that walking on the water
Won't make you a Miracle Man

I took a look at a love so sweet
I was watching them fly away
Didn't have to be standing in disgrace
Put my best foot forward then I fell on my face
Some people watching me taking that chance
Just to see me lose
Well maybe they remembered when they said I'd like to dance
That I can't afford no dancing shoes

Keep repeating that number
Keep on waving your hand
Don't you know that walking on the water
Won't make you a Miracle Man
No Miracle Man

Keep repeating that number
Keep on waving your hand
Don't you know that walking on the water
Won't make you a Miracle Man
No Miracle Man
