[00:00.00] 作词 : Frey, Henley
[00:10.110]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
