Letra de Cody (Abridged)
Cody says he didn't start the fire His parents know he probably did He's always playing with a light He's just a different kind of kidAnd Cody says He didn't raise the dead Says religion's just a trick To keep hard-working folks in line He says it makes his stomach sickSo who's gonna carry us away? Eagles with glory-painted wings? We keep on waiting for the miracle to come Pour down the mountain like a heaven-fed streamCody's always got one on the line He likes to walk 'em by the wrist He does his pulling with his eyes He does his talking with his fistsBottle rockets on an August night Raid the coolers in the trucks If we're lucky we'll get loud and we'll drink Whiskey from a plastic jugSo who's gonna carry us away? Eagles with glory-painted wings? We keep on waiting for the miracle to come Fall from the firmament and give us nice thingsRound and round it goes Where it stops, nobody knows Nobody knowsSo who's gonna carry us away? Eagles with glory-painted wings? We keep on waiting for the miracle to come Roll down the mountain to the sound of sad stringsWe keep on waiting for the miracle For the miracle We keep on waiting for the miracle For the miracle
