Miracle On 8th St

Initially called "Brandy Into Beer" this was written in early 1989 and first performed that Spring.
It was recorded live during the aborted "United Kingdom" sessions in July 89 before being demoed in various different arrangements for Everclear.
It was last performed live on the US "Everclear" tour in October 1991.
A demo version from September 1990 was released on the Everclear band demos tour cd in September 2008.
C'mon let's waste another thousand years
Sitting around your kitchen table
We'll turn the brandy into beer
Later they'll say, "What a miracle"

You say all you need is a right position
'Cause nothing in this world helps you to see
You say that you never do it
Unless someone gives it to you for free

You say I never listen to you
Well you're right about that
But I thought that I love you
More than that 

I know you're strong enough to live
In a world where all the magic's gone
I watch your hands tremble, you reach for another sip
Now all your luck is gone

Look at the moon, ain't it pretty at night
Don't look away - give it a chance for once
In it's own way it's just alive as any of us
In any way it's where you face

You say I never listen to you
Well you're right about that
But I thought that I love you
More than that
