Badlands Album

Ah, healin'

Tried to burn the fire inside now it's knockin' at your door
Say hello to karma
Yet through so many lies I wade the truth in time
Will lay you down to rest

All that stands before me
Will turn dark and full of life
Yeah, yeah

You close your eyes, your nightmare sweats and life's a bitch
Say hello my friend
Steady life is on the end, blood will spell your game

All that stands before me
Will turn dark and full of life
Yeah, yeah

Lord I'm healin', oh

All that stands before me
Will turn dark and full of life
Yeah, yeah

Lord I'm healin'
Yes, I'm healin'

Lord I'm healin'
Don't try to steal my soul
Lord I'm healin'
Everybody knows your name
Everybody knows your name

Yeah, karma, karma, karma, karma, karma
Knockin' at your door

Late one night through a purple sky
A vision touched my soul
Listening to the wind that night
My soul lost control

Five hundred years of voices carry on the wind
Each dawn I watched the sunset melt through an ocean blue
Aaaww, through an ocean blue

Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child for much too long
Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child for much too long
Yeah, yeah

Angels like red shed me of my sins
And freedom's touched my wings
Through this hour in the thick and thin
I stand alone again

Five hundred years of voices carry on the wind
Each dawn I watched the sunset melt through an ocean blue, oh

Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child for much too long
Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child for much too long
Much too long child, yeah

Each dawn I watched the sunset melt through an ocean blue
Five hundred years of voices carry on the wind
Aaaww, strong connection winds

Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child for much too long
Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child for much too long
Sun red sun (sun)
You've been bleeding child
You've been bleeding child
Bleeding child
Bleeding child, Oh

Are you ready people to meet your time at the crossroad, yeah
Healing time is heading my way now
No devil man is gonna cast vibration down on me
Hear me call your name

I got no time to look back at what I've said and done
Don't you know my baby, I was born on that rising sun
And all the love I gave you girl I said was real
Backdoor lover's spinning like the wheel

Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride

Dancin' with the wolves in the midnight holy hour baby
Troubled moon glows above my head now
No bloody story's gonna keep this poor boy on his knee
Gotta keep on rollin' straight ahead

I got not time to look back at what I've said and done
Don't you know my baby, I was born on that rising sun
And all the love I gave you girl I said was real
Your backdoor cyclone's spinning like the wheel

Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
Dig it

Lonely road is gonna take me down easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride

Lonely road is gonna take me down so easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride
I hide

Lonely road is gonna take me down so easy
Lonely road, like a needle in the wind I ride, yeah

Tribal moon glows above my head
Is gonna take me down so easy

Just a young man in an old steel town
I'm getting older now, it's time to look around
My brother John loves his needle and spoon
A cigarette hangs from his lip
Everyone 'round thinks he's so bad
He's really not that cool, no

And I know the reasons why
Deep inside he's not alive

He was born by a river
You know he'll die by the river now
'Cause deep inside my river's run dry

So many times did mother swallow her pride
Just to keep my old man's dreams alive
And I know, and I know someday we're gonna move on outta here
She says "Jesus, Lord, don't give me no bad thoughts and bury me here."

And I know the reasons why
And I know the reasons why

She was born by a river
Her blood flows through the river now
And deep inside my river's run dry

She was born by a river
Her blood flows through the river now
'Cause deep inside my river's run dry

Oh, take hold my hand and pray
Someday baby we're gonna find a way
Oh, oh

I know the reasons why
'Cause deep inside she lost her life
Yeah, yeah, yeah

She was born by a river
Her blood flows through the river now
Deep inside the river's run dry

She was born by a river
You know, we'll die by the river now
'Cause deep inside my river's run dry
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Ooh, yeah

We're born by the river now
You know, she'll die by the river now
Yeah, yeah, huummm

Stone cold hot, never saw the light of day
Said I'm dreaming night and day on the way
Tell me to lie and turn my way
Feel the channel on

I know you know my name now
Remember babe my face now
Remember time it shows no fear
Walking Attitude

Sticks and stones will break my bones
So many names that I've heard
My old lady stands out of turn

Well I know you know my name now
Remember babe this face now
Remember time it shows no fear

In love say no
Oh
In love say no

Stand alone
Take a chance, you know her
Stand alone
Had a lot of chances
Stand alone
Stay alive, chances
Stand alone

So woman, you give it all to me
Sweet child, more than I could bare
For the years gone by, traveled through the year
Sweet child, more than I could bare

We shared some hard times
Oh yes, we have
We've been through the sad times
But they're the best I ever had
Yes, it was

Well, I seen blue skies headin' on my way
Take my hand, walk that extra mile
Story's almost over
Pages are still turning
Aah, the fire lasts forever

Let it be my baby girl
It's time to set me free
Travelin' on this road for much too long

Long line, long line, long line
Until the search that I fly
Long lines tellin' in these hands

Shared some hard times
Oh yes, we have
Been through sad times
But they're the best I ever had

Well, I seen blue skies headin' on my way
Take my hand, walk that extra mile
Story's almost over
Pages are still turning
Aah, the fire lasts forever

Well, I seen blue skies headin' on my way
Take my hand, walk that extra mile
Story's almost over
Pages are still turning
Aah, the fire lasts forever

Well, I seen blue skies headin' on my way
Take my hand, walk that extra mile
Story's almost over
Pages are still turning
Aah, the fire lasts forever

Dogs are howlin' at my door
Wild old eagle's got me scrapin' floor
Mercy, mercy, down on your knees
I know somethin' you can't live without
Dog

Take your time girl
I know somethin'
Telling lies yet I don't say it's so

I know something
Something's wrong now
Tell me like it is sweet little child

Lost in the midnight hour
Lord, oh,
Dog

I know something
You can't find out
Time will tell if you're a telling man
Lizard man in a lizard suit now
Just got killed I'm across the road

Lost in the midnight hour
Oh, oh
Dog

Dog

Dogs are howlin' at my door
Dogs won't tell me when I take more
I know somthin'
You won't change
I don't love it you said I'm all the same

Lost in the midnight hour
Lost
Lost in the midnight hour
Oh

Welfare, move instead
Tell 'em that she can't go on
Sad time, won't leave
Feels that ya can't go on

You save your Johnny child
In this troubled world
Better hold on to love
Stealin' time don't look behind
Gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out
Before you drop now

Money man, said he's got the plan
Fat cat watches his stuff
Crawl the ladder, always gettin' fatter
Feel that ya can't go on

You save your Johnny child
From his troubled world
Better hold on to love
Stealin' time, tryin' to wait in line
Gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out
hahahaha, ha

Get on out, boy before you drop

Woo hoo

Yeah

Still alone, untimely
One time that you feared
Still wanting and tired of love
Feel that ya can't go on

You save your Johnny child
In this troubled world
Better hold on to love
Stealin' time
Still I wait in line

Gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out

Money bleeds

Crazy world

Yeah, yeah

Woo hoo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Aw hoo!

I've been waiting for the sun to shine
There's a shadow across my heart
Hard times and trouble, follow me wherever I go
As I look down my lonely road

Each night I pray the world will go my way
Hear these words, I cry
Lord knows I've tried
Lord knows I've tried

I tried to write you letters
To let my words betray all the fears inside my heart
If I had but one chance, to do it all again
The Heavens would shine on down
Surely show me my only, only way

Each night I pray the world will go my way
Hear these words, I try
Over and over, I keep on prayin' now
Lord knows I've tried
Lord knows I've tried
Yes, he does

Hey, alright

Oh, love is enough sweet Jesus
I've given all I can
You've taken everything I've got to give
It wasn't me who really shot that man
Now I know what you have in mind
A sweet, sweet dream is all I need
While I'm doing the rest of my time

Each night I pray the world will go my way
Hear these words, I cry
All I need's your guiding hand to see me through my lonely times
Lord knows I've tried

Live on a subway "Graffiti Hall"
Said it one more time
Taking time to save my soul

Still alive, in a bar maid
Said it weren't my time
Paid my dues they say belong

Ahh, ahh, somthing's wrong with the picture now
Ahh, ahh, the words don't seem to fit
Ahh, ahh, something's wrong with the picture now
Blood will spill
Everybody 'round town
Ride the Jack
You ride the Jack

Said it weren't my time
Nothin' to do but lay low
I know, I know, I know
Said it weren't my time
Set my dues, its eerie (oh)

Ahh, ahh, somthing's wrong with the picture now
Ahh, ahh, the words don't seem to fit
Ahh, ahh, something's wrong with the picture now
Blood will spill
Everybody 'round town
Rides the Jack
You ride the Jack

Ahh, ahh, somthing's wrong with the picture now
Ahh, ahh, the words don't seem to fit
Ahh, ahh, something's wrong with the picture now
Blood will spill
Everybody 'round this town
Rides the Jack
You ride the Jack
You ride the Jack
You ride the Jack
