The Last Resort - 2013 Remaster

She came from Providence
 One in Rhode Island
 Where the old world shadows hang
 Heavy in the air
 She packed her hopes and dreams
 Like a refugee
 Just as her father came across the sea
 She heard about a place
 People were smilin'
 They spoke about the red man's way
 And how they loved the land
 And they came from everywhere
 To the Great Divide
 Seeking a place to stand
 Or a place to hide
 
 Down in the crowded bars
 Out for a good time
 Can't wait to tell you all
 What it's like up there
 And they called it paradise
 I don't know why
 Somebody laid the mountains low
 While the town got high
 ♪
 Then the chilly winds blew down
 Across the desert
 Through the canyons of the coast
 To the Malibu
 Where the pretty people play
 Hungry for power
 To light their neon way
 Give them things to do
 Some rich men came and raped the land
 Nobody caught 'em
 Put up a bunch of ugly boxes
 And Jesus people bought 'em
 And they called it paradise
 The place to be
 They watched the hazy sun
 Sinking in the sea
 ♪
 You can leave it all behind
 Sail to Lahaina
 Just like the missionaries did
 So many years ago
 They even brought a neon sign
 "Jesus is coming"
 Brought the white man's burden down
 Brought the white man's reign
 Who will provide the grand design?
 What is yours and what is mine?
 'Cause there is no more new frontier
 We have got to make it here
 We satisfy our endless needs
 And justify our bloody deeds
 In the name of destiny
 And in the name of God
 
 And you can see them there
 On Sunday morning
 Stand up and sing about
 What it's like up there
 They call it paradise
 I don't know why
 You call someplace paradise
 Kiss it goodbye
