Miracle of Life

Wrapped herself around him like a tourniquet

Cold October nights she'd wear his leather jacket

Ahhh now she's scared of taking a piss

Can't be sure she's positive

Made her an appointment, she was two months late

The car they borrowed broke down before they got out of state

Towed back into town, what a drag

She's feeling sick, he's feeling bad

Such is the miracle of life

The essence of family is to sacrifice

We could be done with it tonight

The neighborhood doctor says it's sanitized

Lay down on the hard cold ground

Crying's such a soothing sound

Get cured with a coat hanger

Girl you're in America now

Woke up in the morning in a cousin's bed

Something don't look right, septic infected and red

Hot forehead like a frying pan

From fever dreams of sweaty men

Lay down on the hard cold ground

Crying's such a soothing sound

Get cured with a coat hanger

Girl you're in America now

Such is the miracle of life

The essence of love is to sacrifice

We could be done with it tonight

The neighborhood doctor says it's sanitized

Lay down on the hard cold ground

Crying's such a soothing sound

Get cured with a coat hanger

Girl you're in America now

Expired on a Sunday

She was young and blonde

Went right up to heaven

We're all children of god
