miracle worker

(album: Modern Happiness - 2018)

a thousand miles south of where i'm from
i stumble on a party and it looks like fun
i never go to parties where i live but this feels right
magic city lit up just for me
neon coca-cola plus some rum to breathe
and i'm already feeling this is gonna be my night

i'm just working on a miracle tonight
i'm just working on a miracle tonight
i'm just working on a miracle tonight
cuz it's a miracle when everything feels good

a señorita in a cactus dress
starts to takes a notice and i must confess
mi español es no bueno but i can try
she picks a flower puts it in her mouth
snaps her fingers and the stars come out
dancing in the moment with the moon as a spotlight

i'm just working on a miracle tonight
i'm just working on a miracle tonight
i'm just working on a miracle tonight
cuz it's a miracle when everything feels good

wonder why i get a little lost along the way
wonder why i tend to be a little less than fine
but they don't know the feeling that it feels like everyday
they don't know the way it feels inside

it's getting late i've got an empty cup
i wander to the beach and watch the sun come up
i'll never be as free as all the birds up in the sky
reach in my pocket and i take my pill
it's gonna keep me happy till i get my fill
and this is how it feels when you begin to come alive

i'm just working on a miracle tonight
i'm just working on a miracle tonight
i'm just working on a miracle tonight
cuz it's a miracle when everything feels good

i'm just working on a miracle tonight
i'm just working on a miracle tonight
i'm just working on a miracle tonight
cuz it's a miracle
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
