[00:08.61]She came from Providence,
[00:12.44]the one in Rhode Island
[00:16.20]Where the old world shadows hang
[00:19.97]heavy in the air
[00:23.42]She packed her hopes and dreams
[00:27.18]like a refugee
[00:30.95]Just as her father came across the sea
[00:40.27]She heard about a place people were simlin'
[00:47.77]They spoke about the red man's way,
[00:51.04]and how they loved the land
[00:55.08]And they came from everywhere
[00:58.91]to the Great Divide
[01:02.71]Seeking a place to stand
[01:06.22]or a place to hide
[01:12.27]Down in the crowded bars,
[01:15.38]out for a good time,
[01:19.58]Can't wait to tell you all,
[01:23.16]what it's like up there
[01:27.14]And they called it paradise
[01:30.94]I don't know why
[01:34.51]Somebody laid the mountains low
[01:38.84]while the town got high
[02:06.78]Then the chilly winds blew down
[02:11.11]Across the desert
[02:14.91]through the canyons of the coast,
[02:18.56]to the Malibu
[02:22.32]Where the pretty people play,
[02:26.24]hungry for power
[02:30.07]to light their neon way
[02:33.93]and give them things to do
[02:39.51]Some rich men came and raped the land,
[02:43.11]Nobody caught 'em
[02:46.93]Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
[02:51.39]people bought 'em
[02:54.73]And they called it paradise
[02:58.34]The place to be
[03:02.20]They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
[03:10.20]music......
[04:19.13]You can leave it all behind
[04:22.91]and sail to Lahaina
[04:26.79]just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
[04:34.53]They even brought a neon sign:"Jesus is coming"
[04:42.18]Brought the white man's burden down
[04:46.08]Brought the white man's reign
[04:50.10]Who will provide the grand design?
[04:53.65]What is yours and what is mine?
[04:57.65]'Cause there is no more new frontier
[05:01.12]We have got to make it here
[05:05.07]We satifsy our endless needs
[05:08.88]and justify our bloody deeds,
[05:12.39]in the name of destiny
[05:16.47]and the name of God
[05:22.12]And you can see them there,
[05:25.76]On Sunday morning
[05:29.58]Stand up and sing about
[05:33.16]What it's like up there
[05:37.22]They call it paradise
[05:40.23]I don't know why
[05:43.46]You call someplace paradise,
[05:48.20]kiss it goodbye
[05:52.20]music......
