Jill Sobule - Somewhere In New Mexico lyrics

Hovering above her lonely bed

She said it changed her life forever

"Whatever works," I said

All afternoon I change the channels

It's so hard to concentrate

I laugh at her, but I'm pretty sure

She's having a better day

Maybe I'll lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico

And wait for a strange light to come and take me home

Maybe I'll stand by the statue and wait for her to cry

I wanna see real tears and be 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

Maybe I'll lay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico

And wait for a strange light to come and take me home

Maybe I'll stand by the statue and wait for her to cry

Take this jaded heart, blow it all apart, once before I...

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

Maybe I'll stay on the highway somewhere in New Mexico

And wait for a strange light to come and take me home

Maybe I'll 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
