I see it in your faces thin as shadow See me as I'm cocooned up in Badland The side effects of cruising at the speed of life The side effects of living in temptation When only one star is waiting up on all of us You'll see me as I'm cocooned up in Badlands And how do I feel living in the eighties And do I get to see the light of day
Kyoto in the snow but Heaven's far away Sending their love - passion parade With me first times can never lie
They were young - they were brave - they were the honest set The greatest show on earth is here tonight love See me as I'm cocooned up in Badlands The side effects of cruising at the speed of life The side effects of living in temptation When only one star is waiting up on all of us You'll see me as I'm cocooned up in Badlands And how do I feel living in the eighties And do I get to see the light of day
With me first times can never lie
When your hear me screaming I'll be seeing through the eyes of love
