Smoke Season Badlands Lyrics

She knows he's just a lover
Underneath his sullen gaze
I know he'd wait forever
I've been catching blunders
I've been playing with the thunder

And they say that evil has a name
Losing minds out in the badlands
Swapping innocence for fame
Oh, my love, can't you see it's all good fun?
I never hurt a fly til they told me to put down the gun
They say that innocence is escaping me

Oh, my, lover why?
(Oh, I couldn't tell you, baby)
Phantoms in the fields
And the hounds are on our heels
Sun's low in the sky
(Living in the shadows, baby)
Loaded in the saddle and we're going into battle
Loaded in the saddle and we're going into battle
The tumbleweeds are calling
And evil has a name

Sweet release every time I kiss your lips
And he's got me like butter in a pan
I can see we're hell on wheels together
So, hold my head and kiss me slow
And hold my head and kiss me slow
And hold my head and kiss me slow And evil has a name

Oh, my, lover why?
(Oh, I couldn't tell you, baby)
Phantoms in the fields
And the hounds are on our heels
Sun's low in the sky
(Living in the shadows, baby)
Loaded in the saddle and we're going into battle

Oh, my, lover why?
(Oh, I couldn't tell you, baby)
Phantoms in the fields
And the hounds are on our heels
Sun's low in the sky
(Living in the shadows, baby)
Loaded in the saddle and we're going into battle
Loaded in the saddle and we're going into battle
The tumbleweeds are calling
And evil has a name

Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go
Hold my head and kiss me slow
Hold my head and kiss me slow
Hold my head and kiss me slow
Hold my head and kiss me slow

Cause there's only bones on the dusty road
And there's only bones on the dusty road
And there's only bones on the dusty road
And there's only bones on the dusty road
