Jill Sobule - Somewhere In New Mexico lyrics

rate me

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
