G
Burning up each other's love,
Em
burning up our lives
G
Tried all kinds of working out,
D
miracle goodnight

Future full and empty,
knocking on my door
Ragged limbed and hungry mama,
miracle no more

[Chorus]
  G
(Skin tell me) turn it around
 Em
(Head tell me) make it alright
 G             D
(Nobody dancing)

Morning star, you're beautiful,
yellow dime on high
Spin you 'round my living room,
miracle goodnight

Evening flower all alone,
puzzling, capisce?
Haven't got a death wish,
just want a little more

Chorus:
(Skin tell me) turn it around
(Head tell me) make it all right
(Nobody dancing) miracle goodnight
(Breath tell me) turn it around
(Heart tell me) make it all right
(Nobody dancing) it was only make believe

I wish I was a sailor a thousand miles from here
I wished I had a future, anywhere

I love you in the morning sun, I love you in my dreams
I love the sound of making love, the feeling of your skin
The corner of your eyes, I long forevermore
I never want to say goodnight, miracle goodnight

Chorus:
(Skin tell me) turn it around
(Head tell me) make it all right
(Nobody dancing) miracle goodnight
(Breath tell me) turn it around
(Heart tell me) make it all right
(Nobody dancing) it was only make believe

Don't want to know the past, I want to know the real deal
I really don't want to know that
The less we know, the better we feel

Morning star you're beautiful, yellow dime on high
Spinning around my little room, miracle

Chorus:
(Skin tell me) turn it around
(Moon tell me) make it alright
(Nobody dancing) miracle goodnight
(Breath tell me) turn it around
(Heart tell me) make it all right
(Nobody dancing) it was only make believe
(Skin tell me) turn it around
(Moon tell me) make it all right
(Nobody dancing) it was only make believe
(Skin tell me) turn it around
(Head tell me) make it all right
(Nobody dancing) miracle goodnight
(Breath tell me) turn it around
(Heart tell me) make it all right
(Nobody dancing) it was only make believe
