I have a friend, swear she saw Jesus Hovering above her lonely bed She said it changed her life forever "Whatever works" I said I sit with her changing channels It's so hard to concentrate I laugh at her, but I'm pretty sure She's having a better day So I will lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico And wait for a strange light to come and take me home Or I will stand by the statue and wait for her to cry To see real tears that seem 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 So I will lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico And wait for a strange light to come and take me home Or I will stand by the statue and wait for her to cry Take this jaded heart, blow it all apart, once before I die 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 myself So I will lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico And wait for a strange light to come and take me home Or I will 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
