《The Last Resort》歌词

[00:00:08] She came from Providence

[00:00:12] The one in Rhode Island

[00:00:16] Where the old world shadows hang

[00:00:20] Heavy in the air

[00:00:23] She packed her hopes and dreams

[00:00:27] Like a refugee

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

[00:00:40] She heard about a place people were simlin'

[00:00:48] They spoke about the red man's way

[00:00:52] And how they loved the land

[00:00:56] And they came from everywhere

[00:00:59] To the Great Divide

[00:01:03] Seeking a place to stand

[00:01:07] Or a place to hide

[00:01:13] Down in the crowded bars

[00:01:17] Out for a good time

[00:01:20] Can't wait to tell you all

[00:01:24] What it's like up there

[00:01:28] And they called it paradise

[00:01:32] I don't know why

[00:01:35] Somebody laid the mountains low

[00:01:39] While the town got high

[00:02:08] Then the chilly winds blew down

[00:02:12] Across the desert

[00:02:16] Through the canyons of the coast

[00:02:20] To the Malibu

[00:02:24] Where the pretty people play

[00:02:27] Hungry for power

[00:02:31] To light their neon way

[00:02:35] And give them things to do

[00:02:40] Some rich men came and raped the land

[00:02:44] Nobody caught 'em

[00:02:48] Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and Jesus

[00:02:52] People bought 'em

[00:02:56] And they called it paradise

[00:02:59] The place to be

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

[00:04:21] You can leave it all behind

[00:04:24] And sail to Lahaina

[00:04:28] Just like the missionaries did so many years ago

[00:04:36] They even brought a neon sign:"Jesus is coming"

[00:04:44] Brought the white man's burden down

[00:04:48] Brought the white man's reign

[00:04:51] Who will provide the grand design

[00:04:55] What is yours and what is mine

[00:04:59] 'Cause there is no more new frontier

[00:05:03] We have got to make it here

[00:05:06] We satifsy our endless needs

[00:05:10] And justify our bloody deeds

[00:05:14] In the name of destiny

[00:05:18] And the name of God

[00:05:24] And you can see them there

[00:05:27] On Sunday morning

[00:05:31] Stand up and sing about

[00:05:35] What it's like up there

[00:05:39] They call it paradise

[00:05:42] I don't know why

[00:05:46] You call someplace paradise

[00:05:50] Kiss it goodbye
