Lyrics inspired by the 1973 film "Badlands"

lyrics

Run away from the hounds, take what they won't lend
Nature will make soft sounds so brainwaves cannot send
Terrible judgments now, let's hold them till the end
So none can raise a brow at these chains that you mend

Now look beyond the shore, imagine drifting out
A quiet peace once more, the ocean drowns all doubt
Well there's mystery in life, that much I know is true
But sink in the abyss and that doubt won't come find you

And I'm sure, oh so sure that the world's just the world
And it's pure, oh so pure, our beliefs just got twirled
Into the golden sunrise, clouds are his disguise
Or maybe he's not above us
So come and swim with me
Swimming free

Hey little twirler, what's that game you play?
You said he's my world, ha ha ha! Is that what you pray?
Well turn around your starship, I'll take another path
Just don't impose worship, quit making threats of wrath

Now out there in the sea where fishies breed and die
A higher order sees on down from this here sky
Physics and chemistry, our rulers of the deep
Manage bio-harmony, alone down here they'll sleep

And I'm sure, oh so sure that the world's just the world
And it's pure, oh so pure, our beliefs just got twirled
Into the golden sunrise, clouds are his disguise
Or maybe he's not above us (x3)
So come and swim with me
Swimming free

Alone is quieter, just a deeper play
Alone is not sinful, just a swim away.
