Lyrics

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)
