Badlands

Hot sand in my holes and tips

Hot wind whips at my riverbed lips

Snake dunes lookin’ like hips and tits

And big red eye won’t blink he just sits

I don’t know where I am

I think I’m lost in the badlands

Pawns full of thorns and I lost my head

No palms just a cacti to see if it’s flat

No rock to stand on to see where I’m at

I’m looking for ground on a land that’s bad

I don’t know where I am

I think I’m lost in the badlands

Don’t wanna lose who I am

But I’m lost in the badlands

Hungry earth makes survivors strong

Thick skin and thorns just to get along

Think about tomorrow when today’s gone

Hangin’ on a memory of where I’m from

Young and dumb and empty as shit

Muscle and thumb and fingertips

The desert sea is relentless

Dead red blanket

On a baby with a fever

Once you’ve seen death naked

You just can’t leave her

Pawns full of thorns and I lost my head

No palms just a cacti to see if it’s flat

No rock to stand on to see where I’m at

I’m looking for ground on a land that’s bad

I don’t know where I am

I think I’m lost in the badlands

Don’t wanna lose who I am

But I’m lost in the badlands

Hungry earth makes survivors strong

Thick skin and thorns just to get along

Think about tomorrow when today’s gone

Hangin’ on a memory of where I’m from

Dead red blanket

On a baby with a fever

Once you’ve seen death naked

You just can’t leave her

Dead red blanket

On a baby with a fever

Once you’ve seen death naked

You just can’t leave her

Hot sand in my holes and tips

Hot wind whips at my riverbed lips

Snake dunes lookin’ like hips and tits

And big red eye just sits
