Gatsby's American Dream The Badlands lyrics

They call this the badlands baby
But it used to be bayou
The shore of an inland sea
But I can hear you coming

And there's a hole in the world
And the light is leaking out
Spilling like water and I can hear you coming
What foul beast stalks this way

The night is dim but I catch the scent of your arrogance
As you rear your head I can see your eyes
Gleaming catching light from the moon
Like a pair of knives to cut me down


What new delivery is this
I saw you rise and creep across the sky
And all night as I fled you came
Behind eating all the stars

Dig to find, why the light is left?
Rocks and stones, skulls and bones
Whispered stories, tales of glory and a tragic fall from grace
And we're still falling just like the dinosaurs
