歌词

[00:08.61] She came from Providence,
[00:12.44] the one in Rhode Island
[00:16.20] Where the old world shadows hang
[00:19.97] heavy in the air
[00:23.42] She packed her hopes and dreams
[00:27.18] like a refugee
[00:30.95] Just as her father came across the sea
[00:40.27] She heard about a place people were simlin'
[00:47.77] They spoke about the red man's way,
[00:51.04] and how they loved the land
[00:55.08] And they came from everywhere
[00:58.91] to the Great Divide
[01:02.71] Seeking a place to stand
[01:06.22] or a place to hide
[01:12.27] Down in the crowded bars,
[01:15.38] out for a good time,
[01:19.58] Can't wait to tell you all,
[01:23.16] what it's like up there
[01:27.14] And they called it paradise
[01:30.94] I don't know why
[01:34.51] Somebody laid the mountains low
[01:38.84] while the town got high
[02:06.78] Then the chilly winds blew down
[02:11.11] Across the desert
[02:14.91] through the canyons of the coast,
[02:18.56] to the Malibu
[02:22.32] Where the pretty people play,
[02:26.24] hungry for power
[02:30.07] to light their neon way
[02:33.93] and give them things to do
[02:39.51] Some rich men came and raped the land,
[02:43.11] Nobody caught 'em
[02:46.93] Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
[02:51.39] people bought 'em
[02:54.73] And they called it paradise
[02:58.34] The place to be
[03:02.20] They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
[03:10.20] music......
[04:19.13] You can leave it all behind
[04:22.91] and sail to Lahaina
[04:26.79] just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
[04:34.53] They even brought a neon sign:"Jesus is coming"
[04:42.18] Brought the white man's burden down
[04:46.08] Brought the white man's reign
[04:50.10] Who will provide the grand design?
[04:53.65] What is yours and what is mine?
[04:57.65] 'Cause there is no more new frontier
[05:01.12] We have got to make it here
[05:05.07] We satifsy our endless needs
[05:08.88] and justify our bloody deeds,
[05:12.39] in the name of destiny
[05:16.47] and the name of God
[05:22.12] And you can see them there,
[05:25.76] On Sunday morning
[05:29.58] Stand up and sing about
[05:33.16] What it's like up there
[05:37.22] They call it paradise
[05:40.23] I don't know why
[05:43.46] You call someplace paradise,
[05:48.20] kiss it goodbye
[05:52.20] music......
