《The Last Resort》歌词

[00:00:00] The Last Resort (最后的圣地) - Stereophonics (立体音响乐队)

[00:00:08] She came from Providence the one in Rhode Island

[00:00:16] Where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air

[00:00:23] She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee

[00:00:31] Just as her father came across the sea

[00:00:39] She heard about a place people were smilin'

[00:00:47] They spoke about the red man's way how they loved the land

[00:00:55] And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide

[00:01:02] Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide

[00:01:12] Down in the crowded bars out for a good time

[00:01:19] Can't wait to tell you all what it's like up there

[00:01:27] And they called it paradise I don't know why

[00:01:34] Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high

[00:02:06] Then the chilly winds blew down across the desert

[00:02:14] Through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu

[00:02:21] Where the pretty people play hungry for power

[00:02:29] To light their neon way and give them things to do

[00:02:38] Some rich man came and raped the land nobody caught them

[00:02:46] Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and Jesus people bought them

[00:02:53] And they called it paradise the place to be

[00:03:01] We watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea

[00:04:01] You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina

[00:04:08] Just like the missionaries did so many years ago

[00:04:15] They even brought a neon sign 'Jesus is Coming'

[00:04:23] Brought the white man's burden down brought the white man's reign

[00:04:30] Who will provide the grand design what is yours and what is mine

[00:04:38] 'Cause there is no more new frontier we have got to make it here

[00:04:45] We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds

[00:04:53] In the name of destiny and in the name of God

[00:05:03] And you can see them there on Sunday morning

[00:05:09] Stand up and sing about what it's like up there

[00:05:17] They called it paradise I don't know why

[00:05:25] You call some place paradise - kiss it goodbye
