Bad America Lyrics - The Las Vegas Story - The Gun Club

When I heard you 

In my room last night 

Lonely lemur calls 

In my walls last night 

When I was all alone 

In the palm drunken night 

When I was all alone 

Bejeweled in the night 

Pulsing we are hearts 

But bleeding unlike diamonds 

Tying up ourselves 

But bleeding unlike diamonds 

And it's bad 

But, it is bad America 

Under the western sky 

I looked up another thousand times 

You colored my world violence 

You made me warm when you hit me 

With a nail in my arm 

I was all alone 

I could have die there 

I was all alone 

And I did not care 

But, for a burning second 

Of red love in the dark 

But, for my burning hands 

Grasping in the dark 

And it's bad 

But, it is bad America 

Under the western sky 

I had this girl breath 

Up and down my spine 

But, that was a river ago 

I knew you'd come in time 

I was all alone 

Though it was a sea ago 

I was all alone 

And where did you go 

And there's vein-like children 

On the waterfront 

Smack-rotting faces 

On the waterfront 

And it's bad 

But, it is bad America 

Under the western sky 

And there's vein-like children 

On the waterfront 

Smack-rotting faces 

On the waterfront 

And it's bad 

But, it is bad America 

Under the western sky 

But it is bad America 

Well, alright
