Gatsby`s American Dream The Badlands Lyrics

The Badlands Lyrics

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
