Lyrics

Bad Man

[Intro]

I'm a bad man, how about that? (So bad)

Going hungry on a pillar of fat (Of fat)

If I had a way, I would take it back (Take it back)

If you let me stay, I would be so glad (So)

I'm a bad man, how about that? (So bad)

[Verse 1]

I'm a bad man, how about that?

Going hungry on a pillar of fat

If I had a way, I would take it back

If you let me stay, I would be so glad

[Chorus]

What river runs deeper than this?

Stamping on cigarettes, opening fists

What river runs deeper than this?

Biting off fingernails, breaking our wrists

Breaking our wrists

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

When the bomb dropped, I was twenty-two

Buried under black dirt, how about you?

When the bomb dropped, I was twenty-five

Lying on the grass under tangerine sky

Tangerine sky

[Instrumental Outro]
