[00:08.610]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]
