Badlands Songtext
von Anna Tivel

Driving through the badlands
You were talking about time
All those strange formations
Making shadows you followed
The purple of the ages
And the painted yellow lines
A photo never catches what you′re after
It's further

Easy does it, lead foot
You got miles to get it right
Look at all those silver hubcaps
Spinning, the wind sends
A thousand birds and startled waves
Reversing through the sky
Then emptiness right after that explosion


Sweet understanding
The sky is on fire above the badlands
And when you least expect it
You′re gonna find yourself traveling alone

Settling in sandstone
There's a coyote on the rise
Lonely as a figure in a painting
It's painful
You learn it all so slow
You′ll be gone before you′re wise
But maybe it's the highway that′ll change you

Sweet understanding
The sky is on fire above the badlands
And when you least expect it
You're gonna find yourself traveling

Sweet understanding
The sky is on fire above the badlands
And when you least expect it
You′re gonna find yourself traveling alone
You're gonna find yourself traveling alone
You′re gonna find yourself traveling alone
