Lyrics
Badlands
"I'm Jesus Christ, whether you want to accept it or not, I don't care"
I drive alone, killing time
Looking for something preying on my mind
I put my life on line
Burning with my feelings strung up high
Because I'm there for the Badlands, baby
Did you see the way I moved?
Did you feel my heart go wild?
Never underestimate the colour of you and me
Never judge my movements outside
I watch your body fall to the ground
Just to watch that big black car
I risked my life just wishing my time away
I wasted time, now time wastes me
I watch the colours and sound of the motorcade
I keep my drugs inside
I know the feelings of the dying and the dead men
I drive a big black car
"I'm Jesus Christ"
