Cody

Lyrics by：Jonathan Rado/Brandon Flowers/Ronnie Vannucci

Composed by：Jonathan Rado/Brandon Flowers/Ronnie Vannucci

So higher powers higher powers higher powers

Higher powers in me

Higher powers in me

I've seen 'em in the hill you know

I've seen the spirits you know so

Definitely believe in the higher powers

'Cause I'm just a little old human you know

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 kid

And 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 sick

So 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 stream

Cody'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 fists

Bottle 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 jug

So 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 things

Round and round it goes

Where it stops nobody knows nobody knows

So 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 strings

We keep on waiting for the miracle

For the miracle

We keep on waiting for the miracle

For the miracle
