Miracle Mile

Now you're mad and leaving home

'Cause you say there's no one there for you to talk to

Isn't it nice to go outside

When you know there is no place you have to walk to

You can live alone inside a crowded room

And it's never, never too late, never too soon

Put on your frown to go downtown

You have come a long long way

Even though you have no idea where you're going

You ain't done a godamn thing all afternoon

Your confidence is sinking like a lead balloon

And it's never, never too late, never too soon

I can't come down I can't come down

I can't come down I can't come down

I can't go on I can't go on

It's not like I'm asking you to hold up the sky

All the things you held so high

Are you surprised to find that now they add to nothing

Now you're growing old and bored

Do you think that maybe you could teach me something

There is nothing that you really can assume

And it's never, never too late, never too soon

Now you're mad I know you're mad

Now you're mad I know you're mad

Why don't you just tell someone

It's not like you're the only one

It's not like I'm asking you to hold up the sky

I can teach you how to drive

You can teach me how to lie

Hush my darling don't you cry

This could be your lullaby
