Badlands - The Colourfield

As tears fell down onto avenue C

I was tucked up neat

In my satin sheets

Dreaming a dream

Of the floweriest place

Remembering faces

Forgetting your name

I was happier then

(Sinning in secret)

Happier then

(Sinning in secret)

But I’m colder now

A little older now

Come watch me now

As I smolder now

In badlands

Where living is lying

In badlands

Where laughing is crying

In badlands

Nobody hears when

Tears fall down

It’s a painful high

The space between brown and blue

There’s a burning bush

Forever burning for you

Let’s climb to the top of the stairs

In a room hung with flowers

Walking on fire

(Laughing in secret)

Higher and higher

(Laughing in secret)

Come and take it now

Don’t fake it now

We can make it now

Let’s wake up now

In badlands

Where living is lying

In badlands

Where laughing is crying

In badlands

Nobody hears when

Tears fall down

And when the lovely chant is forgotten

I’m miles away from you

I fell from the top to the bottom

And landed in the blue

Without you

(There are no secrets)

Without you

(There are no secrets)

Oh I’m waiting now

And it’s raining now

All I’m saying now

Is I’m staying now

In badlands

Where living is lying

In badlands

Where laughing is crying

In badlands

Nobody hears when

Tears fall down

(Nobody hears when tears fall down)
