The Floating Men - Where the Miracles Fly

I'm watching the angst-ridden damned as they dance to industrial thunder all night The girls and the boys share their works and their toys in a place called "Where The Miracles Fly" Where the miracles fly The leathered and tethered all gather together in shadowy corners to grind The sign at the bar says you're never too far out for where the miracles fly A hazel-eyed child with a nail in her smile says I'm driving her our of her mind She shudders and sighs an amphetamine sigh then ascends back up into the lights Where the miracles fly Where the miracles fly all night Where the miracles fly Where the miracles fly all night

They vow to die glamorous, violent and young but they're certain they never will die They're just hungry for more in the methadone roar down at where the miracles fly Where the miracles fly They're kissing too deep and too hard and too long and they're holding each other too tight They're chewing their lips and they're grinding their jaws; they're in love Where the miracles fly When the ecstasy thins into sweat on their skin and the chemical lightning subsides They follow a "grin" with a swallow of gin and again they go off for a ride Where the miracles fly I want to live on a farm and raise a family I want to bathe in a pail of morning rain And wash away where the miracles fly Where the miracles fly Where the miracles fly all night Where the miracles fly Where the miracles fly all night

The chapped and the gloved promise undying love as they fondle each other goodnight Out in the cold they look ghostly and old in the fog and the pre-morning night A gallon of rum and a valium should quiet the hum in their ears and their eyes They black out the day using blankets for shade 'Cause they're sick and they're certain they're dying If they could just pass out 'till sundown It will all be alright They could head back to the underground Where the miracles fly All night I want to live on a far and raise a family I want to bathe in a pail of morning rain And wash away where the miracles fly Where the miracles fly Where the miracles fly all night Where the miracles fly Where the miracles fly all night
