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 the 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 right out 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 and 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
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 would all be alright
They could head back to the underground
Where the miracles fly
All night

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
Where the miracles fly, all night
Where the miracles fly
Where the miracles fly, all night
Where the miracles fly
Where the miracles fly
Night, all night, all night, all night
