Lyrics
Badlands
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They call this the badlands baby
But it used to be bayou
The shore of an inland sea
And I can hear you coming
What foul beast stalks this way
The night is dim
But I catch the scent of your arrogance
As you rear your head
I can see your eyes gleaming
Catching light from the moon
Like a pair of knives to cut me down
Hole in the world
And the light is leaking out
Spilling like water
And I can hear you coming
What new devilry is this
I saw you rise
And creep across the sky
And all night as I fled
You came behind
Eating all the stars
Dig to find
Why the life left
Rocks and stones
Skulls and bone
Whispered stories
Tales of glory
And a tragic fall from grace
And a tragic fall from grace
And a tragic fall from grace
Still we're still falling
Just like the dinosaurs
And a tragic fall from grace
