lyrics

Badlands

We dance in the desert
your hi-beams trailing us like hungry spotlights
you said; If I could write a song about how I feel right now
it would surely be a hit

Nothing could stop us
for the longest while
for the longest while

I don't trust people
and why should I
the way thing have been?
they keep on wanting what's best
but all they get is what's coming
he got what came for him

Nothing could stop us
for the longest while
for the longest while

All those things I trample on to stay alive
beat into the ground

no-one can blame me
no-one can blame me
I turned and looked away

Nothing could stop us
for the longest while
for the longest while

II: Nothing happened, everything was happening
life is a millstone
grinding and sharpening :II
