When The Eagle Flies - Traffic

When the eagle flies you’d better watch your eyes

He’s gonna sweep everything in his path

And when the Heavens cry it’s gonna drown the sky

And you’ll get caught aftermath

When mountains move it’s not good trying

To prove that you’ve been doing everything that you can

And don’t you start to cry when you’re about to die

You gotta stand and take it like a man

'Cause you’ve been taking instead of giving

And all the while you’ve been living lies

Economics, all your atomics

Ain’t gonna save you from that bird in the sky

And when the good times roll wrapped up in your mink coat

You will be stepping from your Cadillac and in a micro flash

Gonna feel the lash of big eagle’s wing across your back

And when the seas subside you’ll see him glide right out of view

In clouds of snow

And the rains will come

And wash away the scum so that all the little flowers can grow

There’ll be no more taking, only giving and the sun pouring down

No economics and no atomics, just the spread of

(Mother nature’s gown)

Do you hear me, mother nature?

Do you, do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Do you, do you hear me, mother nature?

Do you hear me

(Mother nature)
