作词 : Frey, Henley |

She came from Providence |
| [00:13.940] |
The one in Rhode Island |
| [00:17.700] |
Where the old world shadows hang |
| [00:21.470] |
Heavy in the air |
| [00:24.920] |
She packed her hopes and dreams |
| [00:28.680] |
Like a refugee |
| [00:32.450] |
Just as her father came across the sea |
| [00:41.770] |
She heard about a place people were smiling |
| [00:49.270] |
They spoke about the red man's way |
| [00:52.540] |
And how they loved the land |
| [00:56.580] |
And they came from everywhere |
| [01:00.410] |
To the Great Divide |
| [01:04.210] |
Seeking a place to stand |
| [01:07.720] |
Or a place to hide |
| [01:13.770] |
Down in the crowded bars |
| [01:16.880] |
Out for a good time |
| [01:21.080] |
Can't wait to tell you all |
| [01:24.660] |
What it's like up there |
| [01:28.640] |
And they called it paradise |
| [01:32.440] |
I don't know why |
| [01:36.010] |
Somebody laid the mountains low |
| [01:40.340] |
While the town got high |
| [02:08.280] |
Then the chilly winds blew down |
| [02:12.610] |
Across the desert |
| [02:16.410] |
Through the canyons of the coast, |
| [02:20.060] |
To the Malibu |
| [02:23.820] |
Where the pretty people play, |
| [02:27.740] |
Hungry for power |
| [02:31.570] |
To light their neon way |
| [02:35.430] |
And give them things to do |
| [02:41.010] |
Some rich men came and raped the land, |
| [02:44.610] |
Nobody caught them |
| [02:48.430] |
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus, |
| [02:52.890] |
People bought them |
| [02:56.230] |
And they called it paradise |
| [02:59.840] |
The place to be |
| [03:03.700] |
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea |
| [04:20.630] |
You can leave it all behind |
| [04:24.410] |
And sail to Lahaina |
| [04:28.290] |
Just like the missionaries did, so many years ago |
| [04:36.030] |
They even brought a neon sign:"Jesus is coming" |
| [04:43.680] |
Brought the white man's burden down |
| [04:47.580] |
Brought the white man's reign |
| [04:51.600] |
Who will provide the grand design? |
| [04:55.150] |
What is yours and what is mine? |
| [04:59.150] |
Cause there is no more new frontier |
| [05:03.220] |
We have got to make it here |
| [05:07.170] |
We satifsy our endless needs |
| [05:10.980] |
And justify our bloody deeds, |
| [05:14.490] |
In the name of destiny |
| [05:18.570] |
And the name of God |
| [05:24.220] |
And you can see them there, |
| [05:27.860] |
On Sunday morning |
| [05:31.680] |
Stand up and sing about |
| [05:35.260] |
What it's like up there |
| [05:39.320] |
They call it paradise |
| [05:42.330] |
I don't know why |
| [05:45.560] |
You call someplace paradise, |
| [05:50.300] |
Kiss it goodbye |
