I have a friend who swears she saw Jesus Hovering above her lonely bed She said it changed her life forever 'Whatever works,' I said All afternoon I change the channels It's so hard to concentrate I laugh at her, but I'm pretty sure She's having a better day Maybe I'll lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico And wait for a strange light to come and take me home Maybe I'll stand by the statue and wait for her to cry I wanna see real tears and be sincere once before I die The other night I talked to an old flame Who finally said why he moved on He said I didn't have faith in anything I knew he wasn't wrong I saw two lovers in the park With that dreamy look of lust in their eyes The whole world smiled as they passed by They just make me mad Maybe I'll lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico And wait for a strange light to come and take me home Maybe I'll stand by the statue and wait for her to cry Take this jaded heart, blow it all apart, once before I... I'll get down on my knees, something I don't believe Somebody help me, please, I'm starting to repeat myself I'm starting to repeat Maybe I'll stay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico And wait for a strange light to come and take me home Maybe I'll stand by the statue and wait for her to cry I'd love to see a miracle once before I die Once before I die
