Lyrics of Cody (Abridged) by The Killers
verse
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
verse
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
chorus
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
verse
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
verse
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
chorus
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
bridge
Round and round it goes
Where it stops, nobody knows
Nobody knows
chorus
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
outro
We keep on waiting for the miracle
For the miracle
We keep on waiting for the miracle
For the miracle
Writer(s): Brandon Flowers, Jonathan Rado, Ronnie Vannucci Jr.
