Badlands (Duststorm)

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,
All I see...

Miserable

I got nowhere to go
No place to call my home
I send my hope into the sky
It's hot as hell as I slowly fry
I'm miserable
She's got nowhere to go
No, she ain't got a home
And she's too damn strong to cry
She's stuck with me and her eyes don't lie
She's miserable
No hope, we're getting low
We're a long, long way from home
No way back even if we try
We sit and watch the day pass us by
We're miserable
She's the only one I know
Makes me feel I'm coming home
And I wish I could tell her why
For the first time I can't deny
I'm not miserable

Desert Queen

Blue sky
Red land
No lie
First-hand
I came to her undone
True love
First sight
I wept
All night
The pain that brought me here
Cold steel
Red hands
High above
The Badlands
No one is innocent
Big Gun
Big stride
Undone
As we slowly glide
Through the desert air
She's the Desert Queen
A war machine
This war I'm in
Half truth
All lie
No youth
Big sky
It's not what we were told
No plan
In sight
No, man
Alright
Our best days are here
She's the Desert Queen
A war machine
This war I'm in
She's the open sky
Where's freedom lies
Where freedom dies
She's the Desert Queen
A war machine
This war I'm in
We're on the road
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to...
She's the open sky
Where's freedom lies
Where freedom dies
Oh, she's a war machine
A sight to be seen
A sight to see

Sunnyville

If you ever find yourself in Sunnyville
Better watch your back or better still
Just stay away, just stay away
I once knew a man who went that way
Vanished without a trace, turned up some other day
Bound in chains, bound in chains
Slave caravans cross the land
Searching under every stone, buried underneath the sand
Searching for you, searching for you
No one can say what they'll do with you
But it's foul and it's cruel and there's nothing you can do
It's a slaves life for you
Well, Sunnyville came this way
Nothing that I could do would keep the fiends away
They ripped through sky and took her away
