| [00:08.56] |
She came from Providence |
| [00:12.46] |
The one in Rhode Island |
| [00:16.36] |
Where the old world shadows hang |
| [00:20.20] |
Heavy in the air |
| [00:23.66] |
She packed her hopes and dreams |
| [00:27.81] |
Like a refugee |
| [00:31.51] |
Just as her father came across the sea |
| [00:40.95] |
She heard about a place people were simlin |
| [00:48.50] |
They spoke about the red man's way |
| [00:52.28] |
And how they loved the land |
| [00:56.05] |
And they came from everywhere |
| [00:59.93] |
To the Great Divide |
| [01:03.64] |
Seeking a place to stand |
| [01:07.68] |
Or a place to hide |
| [01:13.35] |
Down in the crowded bars |
| [01:17.18] |
Out for a good time |
| [01:21.04] |
Can't wait to tell you all |
| [01:24.84] |
What it's like up there |
| [01:28.63] |
And they called it paradise |
| [01:32.43] |
I don't know why |
| [01:35.86] |
Somebody laid the mountains low |
| [01:39.98] |
While the town got high |
| [02:09.13] |
Then the chilly winds blew down |
| [02:12.99] |
Across the desert |
| [02:16.63] |
Through the canyons of the coast |
| [02:20.68] |
To the Malibu |
| [02:24.55] |
Where the pretty people play |
| [02:28.26] |
Hungry for power |
| [02:32.08] |
To light their near on way |
| [02:35.93] |
Give them things to do |
| [02:41.22] |
Some rich men came and raped the land |
| [02:45.33] |
Nobody caught them |
| [02:48.83] |
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes |
| [02:52.45] |
And Jesus people bought 'em |
| [02:56.55] |
And they called it paradise |
| [03:00.51] |
The place to be |
| [03:04.19] |
They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea |
| [04:21.50] |
You can leave it all behind |
| [04:25.14] |
|
| [04:29.10] |
Just like the missionaries did so many years ago |
| [04:36.89] |
They even brought a neon sign |
| [04:40.91] |
Jesus is coming |
| [04:44.92] |
Brought the white man's burden down |
| [04:48.90] |
Brought the white man's reign |
| [04:52.52] |
Who will provide the grand design |
| [04:56.60] |
What is yours and what is mine |
| [05:00.26] |
Cause there is no more new frontier |
| [05:04.03] |
We have got to make it here |
| [05:07.77] |
We satifsy our endless needs |
| [05:11.62] |
And justify our bloody deeds |
| [05:15.61] |
In the name of destiny |
| [05:19.18] |
And the name of God |
| [05:25.12] |
And you can see them there |
| [05:28.93] |
On Sunday morning |
| [05:32.68] |
Stand up and sing about |
| [05:36.44] |
What it's like up there |
| [05:40.28] |
They call it paradise |
| [05:43.43] |
I don't know why |
| [05:47.51] |
You call someplace paradise |
| [05:51.52] |
Kiss it goodbye |
