Lyrics
The 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
But I can hear you coming
And there's a hole in the world
And the light is leaking out
Spilling like water
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
What new delivery 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 light is left
Rocks and stones, skulls and bones
Whispered stories, tales of glory and a tragic fall from grace
And we're still falling just like the dinosaurs
