Lyrics for Badlands

Welcome to the Badlands Where the sky expands and you and I expire Just like sparks flying off some firecracker In the big disaster we call home Where God could be a dog Barking in the dark And if it goes pitch black would you come back? Would you follow my name Through wild fields of lavender In this life we're just passengers just passing by Heaven is a place on earth beneath the golden sky Heaven is a place on earth we see it by and by And I know that it's going to hurt if I get there first Heaven in a place on earth Welcome to the Midwest Where the sky knows best And you'll finally get some rest 'Til the tornado sirens start harmonizing And I can't tell if I'm in heaven, if I'm in I can't tell if I'm in heaven, if I'm in I can't tell if I'm in heaven, if I'm in I can't tell if I'm in heaven or if I'm in the Badlands Where the sky expands and you and I expire Just like sparks flying off some firecracker In the big disaster we call home Heaven is a place on earth beneath the golden sky Heaven is a place on earth we see it by and by And I know that it's going to hurt if I get there first Heaven in a place on earth, on earth Heaven in a place on earth, on earth Heaven in a place on earth
