a legit bitch she was
but then again
can you really trust a girl
you met in the desert?
It's alright brother,
you did good
by chopping her up
like you should
now we have to find her mouth
in all these pieces
because the fucking thing
won't stop whispering
and it's driving me insane
it is, oh
we need to bury her pieces
as far away from each other
as we can
we'll drop them in holes
along the way
to wherever we go next
you can drop that axe now, brother
it is done
but one thing is sure
while it lasted
it was fun
these badlands are getting to me brother
i feel feverish, lost, without hope
and when i look in this mirror
i see your face superimposed on mine
are we one or are we two
am i me or am i you
i have no ability to puzzle this out
so let us go
you and i
to spit into
this desert's eye

...and this little piggy went to the market
to buy a shotgun and some shells
to deal with the wolf when it came
and rang the piggy's doorbell

...and this little pigg...
Oh, brother, you are here again
I was just telling our friend the stories
of our ancient gods and how they defeated
the enemies that came to their doors
you remember the legends right?
i am so happy we met this young lady
even though I thought she was a mirage
did you try the grapes over there?
they will burst in your mouth with juices
Yes, yes, she is very much real
I have counter her fingers and her toes
Her feet are also pointed
in the right direction
there is no need to worry, brother
she is as legit as they come
Right, Peisinoe, darling
Won't you sing that song for my brother
that you just sang for me
it was so sweet and melodious
like a fine wine
I got drunk on your voice
and maybe I am still drunk
I probably am
but who want to come down
from a high so beautiful?
My brother, sure
Such a party pooper
What are you doing with that axe, man?
You need to stop and drop it right there
before you hurt our pretty friend
that blade looks pretty sharp to me
where did you find an axe in this desert?
Alright, now you need to stop
for real

oh
oh
Oh no
ow, motherfucker

Brother, hand me your knife
Walk behind me
Keep your hand on my shoulder
And follow

What strange place this is
these creatures unlike any i have ever seen
or even dreamed of
and I have dreamed of some weird shit, brother
they look like melting nightmares
where teeth sprout where they may
their skin shifts and moves
giving way to bones and hair
internal organs exposed to open air

you think that thing is edible?
maybe I can kill it for its meat
we've been lost in these dunes for days
and on my mother, i am hungry
no fruits here that we can eat
only this strange nightmare meat
perhaps it will not make us sick
now we only need to pick
which animal will sate our hunger

any idea where these dunes end
have we been walking in circles all these days
maybe we should point into a direction and start walking

in the badlands - 1

these bricks have my fingerprints on them, brother
and we are back here looking for something
that we did not find when we were here last time
but the search shall continue

do you remember when we saw
a monkey in a cage here
angry and raging
it would not stop screaming
that was some day
we tried to feed the monkey
but it would only throw the peanuts
back at us, all while screaming monkey insults
isn't it great that we are not fluent in monkey?

the dust is still a mad dervish here
scraping dreams from the eyes of believers
do you see them now? faithless and lost
waiting for the sands to swallow them
you want to throw some peanuts at them?

it's hilarious, isn't it, brother?
all these lost people
looking for things
that they should not be looking for?
hilarious every time
oh, and why were we here again?
did you just throw a fucking peanut at me?
motherfucker.
