It's a Miracle
Brian Dunne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How the hell were you to know
They expected you to drive
You were halfway in a coma
But you made it home alive
These are difficult days
It's a miracle babe
We've got anything left to piss away
Father's day had come and gone
And you forgot to call your mom
And thank her for the double shift
The reason you even exist
Those were difficult days
It's a miracle babe
We've got anything left to piss away
Little child in the candy aisle
Grabs a handful then he smiles
So don't be so hard on ya
You got friends and stuff, dontcha?
Cause how the hell were you to win?
At twice the price and half the skin It was rigged right from the jump You did your best and hung it up
These are difficult times
Just the blind leading the blind
It's a miracle anyone's anywhere on time
It's a miracle babe
Save for one or two good days That we've got anything left to piss away
It's a miracle babe
It's a miracle babe
These are difficult days




Every time you walk outside
Don't you know that you could die I guess it's always been that way It's a miracle babe
