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 smiling |
| [00:47.770] |
They spoke about the red man's way |
| [00:51.040] |
And how they loved the land |
| [00:55.080] |
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] |
Can't wait to tell you all |
| [01:23.160] |
What it's like up there |
| [01:27.140] |
And they called it paradise |
| [01:30.940] |
I don't know why |
| [01:34.510] |
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 |
| [02:30.070] |
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 them |
| [02:46.930] |
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus, |
| [02:51.390] |
People bought them |
| [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 |
| [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 man's burden down |
| [04:46.080] |
Brought the white man's 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 |
| [05:05.070] |
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 |
| [05:33.160] |
What it's like up there |
| [05:37.220] |
They call it paradise |
| [05:40.230] |
I don't know why |
| [05:43.460] |
You call someplace paradise, |
| [05:48.200] |
Kiss it goodbye |
