Miranda Lyrics by Phil Ochs

Miranda Lyrics

    pre>e d
    Do you have a problem,
    E d
    Would you like someone to solve them,
    E d b7
    Would you like someone to share in your misery?
    E a g a g
    Now, i don't know the answer, but i know a flamenco dancer
    A g b7
    Who will dance for you if you will dance for me
    Chorus:
    E a e
    Her name's miranda
    F#m b7
    She's a rudolph valentino fan
    F#m b7
    And she doesn't claim to understand
    A d e
    She bakes brownies for the boys in the band.

    Early sunday morning
    When the sermon lines are forming
    And saturday night is the memories that it gave.
    She's busy in the pantry, far away from elmer gantry
    Who is busy baking souls that he may save.
    Everybody's soul but miranda (chorus)

    The dice of death are calling
    While the truck of time is falling
    By the thumb stuck out on the highway of the years.
    The tollgate at the turnpike is ignored by those who hitch-hike
    And the howard johnson food is made of fear
    But not miranda (chorus)

    The sun burnt skin is peeling
    On the dotors who are healing
    And the license plates are laughing on the car.
    The pain is so exciting
    And everyone's inviting
    You to look upon their operation scars.
    But not miranda (chorus)

    The condiments are clashing
    While commercial planes are crashing
    And the music of the evening is so sweet
    Now fully in agreement
    Oh, their feet have found the cement
    And they all believe the signs are on the street
    Her name's miranda (chorus)

    In the bar we're gin and scotching
    While the fbi is watching
    They are tape recording every other word
    The bartender is bleeding
    Pardon me, i just was leaving
    As another clever voice repeats absurd
    But not miranda (chorus)

    (repeat first verse)
