Miracle of Life

Wrapped herself around him like a tourniquet Cold October nights she'd wear his leather jacket Ah, 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 her 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
