Somewhere in New Mexico lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had a friend who swears she saw Jesus
Hovering above her lonely bed
She said it changed her life forever
"Whatever works," I said
I sit at home changing channels
It's so hard to concentrate
I laugh at her, but I'm pretty sure
She's having a better day

[Chorus]
So I will lay on the highway
Somewhere in New Mexico
And wait for a strange light
To come and take me home
Or I will stand by the statue
And wait for her to cry
To see real tears that feel sincere
Once before I die

[Verse 2]
The other night 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
[Chorus]
So I will lay on the highway
Somewhere in New Mexico
And wait for a strange light
To come and take me home
Or I will stand by the statue
And wait for her to cry
Take this jaded heart, blow it all apart
Once before I die

[Bridge]
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 myself

[Chorus]
So I will lay on the highway
Somewhere in New Mexico
And wait for a strange light
To come and take me home
Or I will 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
