Up in the clouds and clear, blue skies we can know safety, but safety is its own curse. Down in the red, burning Badlands a man can know endless horror, but he can also know salvation.
Say goodbye to your sanctuary in the clouds. The journey into the Badlands begins now.
lyrics
Oh, bad lands
Far as the eye can see and
Nothing out here but hope
There's nothing
Here left for me and
I'm gonna pick up and leave
For the Badlands
Badlands
Great sky boats
Fill up the dock that day and
I'm gonna make one my home
Spending my days
Down on the factory floor and
There's no place I'd rather be
Than the Badlands
Badlands
Badlands
Badlands
I left my home
In the clouds today and
There's just one thing on my mind
A mystery
In a young girl's eyes
She follows me to the end
To the Badlands
Badlands
There's ain't no heaven
Where I plan to go and
It's far too hot for hell
Iron wings
Beat the burning air and
War machines walk the soil
In the Badlands
Badlands
Badlands
Badlands
Sun blocked out by a bloody sky,
Red dust fills the air,
I shield my eyes and I wonder why,
There ain't no peace anywhere,
'Cause all I see is the dust storm,
And it burns my eyes,
All I see is my own lies,
I'm sweating fire in the hot box,
Crawling across the sand,
She's had my back since the sky docks,
And there ain't no turning back,
'Cause all I see is the dust storm,
And it burns my eyes,
All I see is my own lies,
There's something on the horizon,
No where to go, no where to go, no where to...
Run right through the dust storm,
Just the two of us,
Found and lost in the Badlands,
The scorching day has passed,
But all I see is the dust storm,
And it burns my eyes,
All I see is my own lies,
The 80's are back and better than ever... the 2080's that is. Welcome to the mean streets of Bay City where the streets are paved with neon. Riccardo Estate
