Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 is a place on earth
[Verse 2]
Welcome to the Midwest
Where the sky knows best
And you'll finally get some rest
Till the tornado sirens start harmonizing
[Bridge]
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
[Refrain]
Where the sky expands and you and I expire
Just like sparks flying off some firecracker
In the big disaster we call home
[Chorus]
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 is a place on earth, on earth
Heaven is a place on earth, on earth
[Outro]
Heaven is a place on earth
