[00:00.00] 作词 : Frey, Henley
[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 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
