[00:08.20] She came from Providence

[00:11.92] One in Rhode Island

[00:15.90] Where the old world shadows hang

[00:19.64] Heavy in the air

[00:23.41] She packed her hopes and dreams

[00:27.40] Like a refugee

[00:31.11] Just as her father came

[00:35.10] Across the sea

[00:40.68] She heard about a place

[00:44.40] People were smiling

[00:47.86] They spoke about the red man's ways

[00:51.85] And how they loved the land

[00:55.57] And they came from everywhere

[00:59.55] To the Great Divide

[01:03.27] Seeking a place to stand

[01:07.25] Or a place to hide

[01:12.83] Down in the crowded bars

[01:16.82] Out for a good time

[01:20.54] Can't wait to tell you all

[01:24.25] What it's like up there

[01:28.24] And they called it paradise

[01:31.96] I don't know why

[01:35.48] Somebody laid the mountains low

[01:39.46] While the town got high

[01:45.59] .

[02:08.68] And then the chilly winds blew down

[02:12.40] Across the desert

[02:16.39] Through the canyons of the coast

[02:20.11] To the Malibu

[02:24.09] Where the pretty people play

[02:27.81] Hungry for power

[02:31.53] To light their neon way

[02:35.25] And give them things to do

[02:40.84] Some rich men came and raped the land

[02:44.82] Nobody caught 'em

[02:48.54] Put up a bunch of ugly boxes

[02:52.31] And, Jesus, people bought 'em

[02:56.02] And they called it paradise

[03:00.05] The place to be

[03:03.77] They watched the hazy sun

[03:07.49] Sinking in the sea

[03:11.80] .

[04:21.09] You can leave it all behind

[04:24.54] And sail to Lahaina

[04:28.56] Just like the missionaries did

[04:32.54] So many years ago

[04:36.53] They even brought a neon sign

[04:40.51] "Jesus is coming"

[04:44.23] They brought the white man's burden down

[04:48.51] Brought the white man's reign

[04:51.96] Who will provide the grand design?

[04:56.20] What is yours and what is mine?

[04:59.65] 'Cause there is no more new frontier

[05:03.63] But we have got to make it here

[05:07.38] We satisfy our endless needs

[05:11.10] And justify our bloody deeds

[05:15.08] In the name of destiny

[05:18.80] And in the name of God

[05:24.66] And you can see them there

[05:28.38] On Sunday morning

[05:31.84] And stand up and sing about

[05:36.08] What it's like up there

[05:39.81] They call it paradise

[05:42.74] I don't know why

[05:46.98] You call someplace paradise

[05:51.22] Kiss it goodbye

[06:07.43] .
