A hotel for misfits, misanthropes, and the maladjusted.

lyrics

A Miracle Mile

They live and they lie.
And they barely get by.
On a Miracle Mile (2x)

They scratch and they claw.
Wait for God’s body to thaw.
On a Miracle Mile (2x)

Well they run and they hide!!!
And they lose all their pride.

We’re waiting….
I’m waiting….
On a Miracle Mile!

Verse 1

Elaine “The Bridge”, a beauty queen
From Canada , whose eyes have seen
The Mayor getting high with famous men.

She met the quiet army cat
In 109 who told her that
“Shooting straight’s the only way to Zen!”

Chorus

On a Miracle Mile (2x)
You can stay a day, a week, or awhile-
Come and check in on A Miracle Mile.

Verse 2

The scholar living with his Mom
He cried about the atom bomb
He said that intuition was the key.

Well, he fell in love with Scott “The Hag”
Doing monologues in drag
Standing on the roof for all to see!

Chorus

On a Miracle Mile (2x)
You can stay a day a week or awhile
Come and check in on a Miracle Mile.

Verse 3

So take your pictures of our pain
Holding buckets in the rain
This is the asylum for the brave.

Those built to live in other worlds
Unfit to work as counter girls
Ineffably drunk on God’s sugar cane.

From mushroom clouding U.S.A.
Come ye newborn Fausts to play
A game called “we’ll be famous for our fun!”

Let the voices win the war
Scare them at the grocery store
Spend Christmas Eve with thieves and whores

We’ll be remembered each and every one! (3x)

Chorus - End

about

St. Anthony and The Mystery Train Durham, North Carolina

A band of storytellers taking cues from the magical realism of Tom Waits, the free-associations of Bob Dylan, and the misfit spirituals of Johnny Cash. The stories inside the music are best described as a stream of Southern-Gothic consciousness, short pieces of theatre in which every musician, playing a combination of garage rock, blues, & country, is a "character." ... more
