Wastelands

I'm on my way

I'm breaking through

The clouds of gray and powder blue

Hooray

Hallelujah

I'm a beautiful man



On fields of stone and rusted cans

Bones and bottles and disowned lands

I will stand

Hallelujah

A magnificent man



Out in the wastelands, my, how I dream

I'm pounding my chest while the girls in the grandstand scream



I'm a work of art

I'll take your heart

I'll fill you with fountains of fire and sparks

In the dark

Hallelujah

We'll lie littered with laughter and riddled with dazzling stars



I'll fall to my knees in the hall of my dreams

Majestically posing while girls in the mezzanine scream

“Hallelujah!”

For exotic oils and forbidden teas



Out in the wastelands, my, how I dream

I'm curling my lip while the girls in grandstand scream,

“Please outsider

You seem like such a lonely man

Take me away with you

I want to see the wastelands”



All the Romeos burn just a little too bright

All the harrowing rodeo gigolos wither and die

Hallelujah

At the hands of day, at the feet of the night



So dress my wounds and soothe my brow

We'll make it from here to the border somehow

Where we'll drown

Hallelujah

In exotic oils with forbidden powers



Out in the wastelands, my, how I dream

I'm dusting my chaps while the girls in grandstand scream,

“Please outsider

You seem like such a lonely man

Take me away with you

I want to see the wastelands

Please show me the wastelands

Show me the wastelands

You seem like such a haunted man

I want to see the wastelands

Please show me the wastelands”
