Lyrics and translation

Original

Welcome to the badlands

Where the sky expands and you and I expire

Just like sparks flying off some firecracker In the big disaster we call home Where God could be a dog barking in the dark

And if it goes pitch black, would you come back?

Would you follow my name through wild fields of lavender?

In this life, we're just passengers just passing by

Heaven is a place on earth beneath the golden sky

Heaven is a place on earth, we see it by and by

And I know that it's going to hurt if I get there first

Heaven is a place on earth

Welcome to the Midwest

Where the sky knows best and you'll finally get some rest 'Til the tornado sirens start harmonizing And

I can't tell if I'm in Heaven, if I'm in I can't tell if I'm in Heaven, if I'm in

I can't tell if I'm in Heaven, if I'm in I can't tell if I'm in Heaven or if I'm in the badlands

Where the sky expands and you and I expire

Just like sparks flying off some firecracker In the big disaster we call home Heaven is a place on earth beneath the golden sky

Heaven is a place on earth, we see it by and by

And I know that it's going to hurt if I get there first

Heaven is a place on earth, on earth

Heaven is a place on earth, on earth

Heaven is a place on earth

English translation

Welcome to the badlands

Where the sky expands and you and I expire

Just like sparks flying off some firecracker In the big disaster we call home Where God could be a dog barking in the dark

And if it goes pitch black, would you come back?

Would you follow my name through wild fields of lavender?

In this life, we're just passengers just passing by

Heaven is a place on earth beneath the golden sky

Heaven is a place on earth, we see it by and by

And I know that it's going to hurt if I get there first

Heaven is a place on earth

Welcome to the Midwest

Where the sky knows best and you'll finally get some rest 'Til the tornado sirens start harmonizing And

I can't tell if I'm in Heaven, if I'm in I can't tell if I'm in Heaven, if I'm in

I can't tell if I'm in Heaven, if I'm in I can't tell if I'm in Heaven or if I'm in the badlands

Where the sky expands and you and I expire

Just like sparks flying off some firecracker In the big disaster we call home Heaven is a place on earth beneath the golden sky

Heaven is a place on earth, we see it by and by

And I know that it's going to hurt if I get there first

Heaven is a place on earth, on earth

Heaven is a place on earth, on earth

Heaven is a place on earth
