Badlands
Fresh scrubbed baby, mommas kiss on his cheek
Steps off the greyhound with money for a week.
A wild eyed innoncent, he knows no fear
It takes more than heroes to survive down there.
In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
Well if youve got the bullets...
Theyll remember your name down there.
Cant drink the water, cant breathe the air
They said it was exciting, never said it was fair
Youre just another singer in a pilgrims suit
Chased by the lines till you learn to shoot
In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
If youve got those black diamonds
Theyll remember your name down there.
Badlands, well theres always a faster hand in the west
Room around town for only the best
One false step and youll be cut down
For some its paradise, others its hell.
In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
Yeah, if youve got the bullet
Theyll remember your name down there.
Theyll remember your name down there.
Theyll remember your name down there.
Youre gonna need some protection.
You had better make your connections.

Badlands
I am a pistol pocket man with a gun in my hand
Looking for a woman that will understand
You like to roll and I like to ride
Ill stop at nothing, never take me alive
Chorus:
Im a man with a fast hand
Loving on a last stand
Outlaw, quick draw
Evil talking bandit man
In the badlands
I got a .45 thatll make you fry
Burn your saucy ass up like the fourth of july
I ride it hard, I ride it high
Make love to you till you reach for the sky
Chorus
Im gonna set up my six pack
Aint gonna back track
I shoot loaded
Come on girl, gonna give you a thrill

Badlands
Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland.
Got a head-on collision, smashin in my guts man.
Im caught in a crossfire that I dont understand.
But theres one thing I know for sure girl:
I dont give a damn for the same old played out scenes
I dont give a damn for just the in-betweens.
Honey I want the heart, I want the soul, I want control right now.
You better listen to me baby:
Talk about a dream; try to make it real.
You wake up in the night with a fear so real.
You spend your life waiting for a moment that just dont come.
Well dont waste your time waiting
Badlands you gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price youve gotta pay
Well keep pushin till its understood
And these badlands start treating us good
Workin in the field till you get your back burned
Workin 'neath the wheels till you get your facts learned.
Baby I got my facts learned real good right now.
You better get it straight darling:
Poor men wanna be rich, rich men wanna be kings,
And a king aint satisfied till he rules everything.
I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got.
Now I believe in the love that you gave me.
I believe in the faith that could save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray that some day it
Will raise me above these
Badlands...
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
That it aint no sin to be glad youre alive.
I wanna find one face that aint looking through me
I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these
Badlands...

The Bandits Of Beverly Hills
The knew the moment their eyes came together
Theyd never need to explain
He was a bandit behind his behavior
She was precisely the same
Laughing and dancing those gay cabralleros
They looked so wild and so free
She likes him a little light on the loafers
But bless his heart, so does he .
Chorus:
And he covers for her and she covers for him
If its wild and they want to they will
But the dangers are real and the chances are slim
And there aint nothing cheap but the thrill
In the badlands of beverly hills.
He had a mustache that made him look macho
And she wore a mole on her cheek
Making the run around rodeo avenue
Dancing boutique to boutique
And the truth is a question with too many answers
And so hard to face on your own
Beauty is only as deep as the skin
Ugly goes clear to the bone.
Chorus:
And he covers for her and she covers for him
If its wild and they want to they will
But the dangers are real and the chances are slim
And there aint nothing cheap but the thrill
In the badlands of beverly hills.

I grew up with Apocalypse Now and Badlands, so I had a real awe thing going.
Hunter & The Hunted
Shooting from the hip
About our faith and love
I see it in your faces thin as shadow
See me as I figure in your late night plan
See me as Im cocooned up in badland
The side effects of cruising at the speed of life
The side effects of living in temptation
When only one star is waiting up on all of us
Youll see me as Im cocooned up in badlands
And how do I feel living in the eighties
And do I get to see the light of day
Kyoto in the snow but heavens far away
Sending their love - passion parade
Hunter and the hunted
With me first times can never lie
They were young - they were brave - they were the honest set
The greatest show on earth is here tonight love
See me as a figure in the late night plan
See me as Im cocooned up in badlands
The side effects of cruising at the speed of life
The side effects of living in temptation
When only one star is waiting up on all of us
Youll see me as Im cocooned up in badlands
And how do I feel living in the eighties
And do I get to see the light of day
Kyoto in the snow
Heavens far away
Sending their love
Passion parade
Hunter and the hunted
With me first times can never lie
Only with you
Life moves so fast
When your hear me screaming
Ill be seeing through the eyes of love
Tell me can you hear me
Tell me can you see me

Rainy Day Women #12 35
Well, theyll stone ya when youre trying to be so good,
Theyll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
Theyll stone ya when youre tryin to go home.
Then theyll stone ya when youre there all alone.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, theyll stone ya when youre walkin long the street.
Theyll stone ya when youre tryin to keep your seat.
Theyll stone ya when youre walkin on the floor.
Theyll stone ya when youre walkin to the door.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Theyll stone ya when youre at the breakfast table.
Theyll stone ya when you are young and able.
Theyll stone ya when youre tryin to make a buck.
Theyll stone ya and then theyll say, good luck.
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, theyll stone you and say that its the end.
Then theyll stone you and then theyll come back again.
Theyll stone you when youre riding in your car.
Theyll stone you when youre playing your guitar.
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, theyll stone you when you walk all alone.
Theyll stone you when you are walking home.
Theyll stone you and then say you are brave.
Theyll stone you when you are set down in your grave.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

Tough spun. Hard worn. No

So Bad

Published by goody two tunes, inc. - bmi
Some people call me a cowboy
But I dont know, I dont ride no more
I gave it up for the city
Those painted women that I adore
I was raised in the badlands
Where men are mean and the children are sore
But they got nothing on you, girl
Youre so bad, youre the devils door
Cause youre so bad (so bad)
Woman you make a fool out of me, yes you do
And youre so sad, woman you got control of me (so bad)
Yes you do, and I know you know I do
Some people call me a cowboy
But theres no question, Ive changed my ways
Hand in hand with the devil
Gonna find me an early grave
Cause youre so bad (so bad)
Woman you make a fool of me, now yes you do, yes you do
And youre so sad (so sad), you got control of me, oh yeah
Yes, youre so bad (so bad), woman you go control of me, yeah

Time After Time
Time after time, time after time
The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
(time after time)
From far away there comes a warning sound
And no one listens but its all around
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
Chorus: time after time, no hiding anywhere
Time after time, the visions in the air
Time after time, they come from everywhere
(time after time)
Time after time
Just listen to the sirens of the world
They breathe a whisper waiting for the word
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
(time after time)
Time after time it is the same old story
Another footstep on the trail of glory
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
Chorus
The beauty of the earth from way up high
Shines like a jewel on the velvet sky
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know

Emit retfa emit, no hiding anywhere
Emit retfa emit, no visions in the air
They come from everywhere

You're Not Free
I remember you like it was yesterday
Remember the time you said youd find me
I remember the songs that you used to play
I hear them still and it reminds me
My runaway you know youve gone wrong for so long
So glamorus at the outset
Now youre almost done
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you cant feel
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Prayin to God
Youve broken the chains
One day youll look back
And think of my name
All of your friends
Pretend youre the best
They run you around
But they could care less
Theyll never see
How good it could be
No man like me
Theyll never know
Just where it could go
You think youre free
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you cant feel
You stumbled
And you still dont see it
The losers always think they can win
Youre never gonna wannabelieve it
You think youre gone
But I see ya yeah
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you cant feel
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you cant feel
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Youre not free
Youre not free

Stones of Death
I gather the stones of death,
My options are few and a breath;
This I design with my hands
And the feet may be from badlands.
The stones I picked deceived me,
Their large amount was ivory;
I wanted a little pebble or parable
To consist of the wisdom not horrible.
The horror I concerned myself with
Was loved by demons and the gunsmith;
Shooting carried disorder like stones,
Pebbles called bullets fired at bones.

Hell & High Water
By dickey betts
(c) 1980 emi blackwood music inc. and pangola publishing company
We've been through hell and high water,
Ready to go through it all again.
As long as we've got a quarter between us all,
We're gonna have money to spend, oh.
Kicked down the doors in new orleans,
We got busted at grove hill where nobody goes,
And long bob drove us to the badlands,
You can bet your ass we're gonna make it down to tomorrow night's show.
Chorus:
We took time by the horns,
Cryin' out loud,
Stood there naked up there in front of the crowd,
Been a million miles,
On a lost highway,
They might name a street after us one of these days.
Oh, we've seen the good times, we've seen the bad.
Worse time we ever seen, is the best some folks ever had,
And the stone mowed us down, with a cold-hearted quill,
But we ain't changed our ways, and i guess we never will.

Upon My One Year Anniversary of Not Smoking
On the occasion of my failure to smoke
Nearly a year since that dreaded habit passed.
And with it a part of myself
Hygienically unfrozen
Cryogenically decrypted.
I look toward space
To find that space between.
And with these things I look homeward
To a place within the farthest reaches of my heart.
Missing one smoke, I remembered the loss of my love
Missing another, I remembered the present loss of another
And in foregoing the next, I remember a future without
That which I had once clung so tightly
And yet had dissolved through the tiny hands
Of time never frozen
I walk, a drifter, alone among the badlands
Drifting in an ancient land of filth
Inhaling smog, belching smoke, and crying
For loftier impressions
Set upon the hell-stoked covers
Of the lids of my eyes
Made infernal within.

Custers Blues
Well you look just like general custer
On the day of his last stand
Heading up into the black hills
Glorious and grand
I saw it by your side
A map in your hand
Heading up into the rain
Singing this land is your land
Now Ive seen your dust a-rising
And Ive seen your numbers swell
Ive seen you crossing the badlands
And Ive heard your captains yell
Ive watched you when youre sleeping
Ive seen you filling up your can
Thinking as you work
That this land is your land
But now youre bursting into my country
Youre messing up my fields
Youre playing games with my holy places
Youre tearing the earth with your wheels
Right now your star is ascending
And your head is bursting with pride
But I wonder if custer was still singing
this land is my land when he died
Was he still singing this is my land when he died
Was he singing that its my land when he died
Was he singing when he died
Was he singing when he died
Was he singing its my land when he died
When he died...
Was he singing when he died

How I Wish
Veins of black tar head for the mountains
Something beautiful about the plains
Something mysterious thru the badlands
Ghost Buffalo
Sacred beads
Tears
She burns sage like a shamans soul
Can you feel the eyes in old houses?
A New Jersey poet is racing in the street
American dream dying outside mansions
Fatigues
Camouflage
Wars in the American heart
How I wish these cages were open
How I wish these fences were gone
How I wish my dream catcher was filled

Everyonell try to put you down
Everyonell try to tell you no
If youve got a dream inside
Youre the only one who can know
Dont let nobody own ya
Just say one day Ill show ya
Revengell sure feel nice
If inside youve paid the price -
Chorus:
You know it and youve gotta stand your ground
Youve earned it - no one can cut you down
Theyll try to get what they can
When youre strong, everyones your friend
Guard the jewel youve found
Youve gotta stand your ground
Come on everybody clap your hands
Doesnt it feel good to take a stand?
Music is my only release
Gotta fight for peace
Fight for the beat
Whether you want for yourself or for others
Stand up for your sisters and brothers
Just do what you wanna do
No one can say whats right for you - oooo!
Chorus
Yo, fred! check this one out!
Rap:
You know you feel helpless on your own
Swallow your pride - dont you go it alone
Dont you run away from what is right
Stand your ground - stay there and fight
The only police are in your mind
You gotta work - now work now double time
cause runnin only lets em get the best of you
So stand your ground
Do watcha gotta do.....
Yo, ira!
(you know it) youve gotta stand your ground
(youve gotta stand your ground)

No one can cut you down, down, down, down
Theyll try to get what they can
When youre strong, everyones your friend
Guard the jewel youve found
Youve gotta (you know it) stand (stand)
Youve gotta stand your ground

Guard the jewel youve found
