she came from providence, |
| [00:12.440] |
the one in rhode island |
| [00:16.200] |
where the old world shadows hang |
| [00:19.970] |
heavy in the air |
| [00:23.420] |
she packed her hopes and dreams |
| [00:27.180] |
like a refugee |
| [00:30.950] |
just as her father came across the sea |
| [00:40.270] |
she heard about a place people were simlin |
| [00:47.770] |
they spoke about the red mans way, |
| [00:51.400] |
and how they loved the land |
| [00:55.800] |
and they came from everywhere |
| [00:58.910] |
to the great divide |
| [01:02.710] |
seeking a place to stand |
| [01:06.220] |
or a place to hide |
| [01:12.270] |
down in the crowded bars, |
| [01:15.380] |
out for a good time, |
| [01:19.580] |
cant wait to tell you all, |
| [01:23.160] |
what its like up there |
| [01:27.140] |
and they called it paradise |
| [01:30.940] |
i dont know why |
| [01:34.509] |
somebody laid the mountains low |
| [01:38.840] |
while the town got high |
| [02:06.780] |
then the chilly winds blew down |
| [02:11.110] |
across the desert |
| [02:14.910] |
through the canyons of the coast, |
| [02:18.560] |
to the malibu |
| [02:22.320] |
where the pretty people play, |
| [02:26.240] |
hungry for power |
| [02:30.700] |
to light their neon way |
| [02:33.930] |
and give them things to do |
| [02:39.510] |
some rich men came and raped the land, |
| [02:43.110] |
nobody caught em |
| [02:46.930] |
put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and jesus, |
| [02:51.390] |
people bought em |
| [02:54.730] |
and they called it paradise |
| [02:58.340] |
the place to be |
| [03:02.200] |
they watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea |
| [03:10.200] |
|
| [04:19.130] |
you can leave it all behind |
| [04:22.910] |
and sail to lahaina |
| [04:26.790] |
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago |
| [04:34.530] |
they even brought a neon sign:"jesus is coming" |
| [04:42.180] |
brought the white mans burden down |
| [04:46.800] |
brought the white mans reign |
| [04:50.100] |
who will provide the grand design? |
| [04:53.650] |
what is yours and what is mine? |
| [04:57.650] |
cause there is no more new frontier |
| [05:01.120] |
we have got to make it here |
| [05:05.700] |
we satifsy our endless needs |
| [05:08.880] |
and justify our bloody deeds, |
| [05:12.390] |
in the name of destiny |
| [05:16.470] |
and the name of god |
| [05:22.120] |
and you can see them there, |
| [05:25.760] |
on sunday morning |
| [05:29.580] |
stand up and sing about |
| [05:33.159] |
what its like up there |
| [05:37.220] |
they call it paradise |
| [05:40.230] |
i dont know why |
| [05:43.460] |
you call someplace paradise, |
| [05:48.200] |
kiss it goodbye |
| [05:52.200] |
|
| [06:57.100] |
|
