lyrics

There’s a sound in the wheels, there’s rhythm there’s a hum, like a music box turning till it's done.
Here we hide in the light where the angels sleep, in the cradle of fire in the belly of the beast.

Just passing through the badlands, where the light shines through in the badlands.
Honey, lay down across these badlands, honey, lay down across these badlands and get me home.

I can’t tell if I'm running from you or to, either way I guess it's all about you, and there’s a song coming through that I used to know, and I’m thinking while you’re talking how the chorus goes.

Just humming a tune through the badlands, where the light shines through in the badlands.
Honey, lay down across these badlands, honey, lay down across these badlands and get me home

You know I’m not here and I never really was, in this blinding light of rhythm and dust
she hides in the dark when the light won’t come, like a storm passing over til it's done.

It changes you in the badlands, what you thought you knew, in the badlands
Honey, lay down across these badlands, honey, lay down across these badlands and get me home
