Christopher Marlowe - Badlands Lyrics

Anytime the phone rings
I flinch she's gone she's gone away
In the left field bleachers still
She will make your hairs raise
Abandoned post the second day
Never thought that I could get some sleep
Some are saying he came free
But I'm still praying my soul to keep

In the outfield badlands sit
Balls are lost in the swamp
Don't go out there tiger, no
You'll hit something that's sharp

Heard a scream the night I fell
Thought I landed inside a waking dream
Then she took me by the hand
I never wished to come back from the trees

In the desolated night
I was lost in the shroud
Don't stray out near lonesome lights
I should know not by now

She's a barn owl when she wants to be loud
The marsh runs red with the sweat from her brow
Child come away where the sun shines so blue
Quick or else you'll miss the hunter's moon

In the palace my heart is light
I am not lost anymore
Don't mistake me my life is not mine
But I'd leave again I am sure
The faeries took out my soul for pay
But I was honored to provide
In the banquet hall I am chained
But I don't need to be tied
Don't need to be tied
