《Ruins Of Paradise》歌词

[00:00:00] Ruins Of Paradise - Roger Alan Wade

[00:00:15] Little deep in the garden of Eden

[00:00:19] The bleedin' jackal cries

[00:00:23] Over the slaves of temptation

[00:00:26] The tombstone raven flies

[00:00:32] Some hostile Pentecostal prophet

[00:00:35] Shakes a God-forsaken snake in my face

[00:00:39] The pagan says "Man just get off it"

[00:00:42] Blames it all on a God he don't believe in anyway

[00:00:48] Well everybody's beggin for mercy

[00:00:52] And me I'm beggin' twice

[00:00:56] Hold me darlin' I'm thirsty

[00:00:59] I just blew in from the ruins of paradise

[00:01:11] Way down the yellow brick highway

[00:01:14] The rainbow cowboy crawls

[00:01:17] Scrawlin' I love you Judy Garland

[00:01:22] In lipstick on the walls

[00:01:27] In line behind the flyin' monkeys

[00:01:31] Her ruby slippers turn blue

[00:01:34] And Lorraine says We ain't in Kansas no more

[00:01:38] Baby Get me out of this zoo

[00:01:43] Well everybody's beggin' for mercy

[00:01:47] And Lorraine she's beggin' twice

[00:01:51] Hold me darlin' I'm thirsty

[00:01:54] I just blew in from the ruins of paradise

[00:02:06] Little Jenny slapped the District Attorney

[00:02:10] She offered no amends

[00:02:13] Told the jailer "Unstrap my gurney "

[00:02:16] He said well Jenny that all depends

[00:02:22] She left the chain-gang in the rain hitch-hiking

[00:02:25] Wound up on the fringes of ballet

[00:02:29] Says She found a job to her liking

[00:02:32] While with her lack of education it'd be workin' all day

[00:02:38] Well everybody's beggin' for mercy

[00:02:42] And Jenny she's beggin' twice

[00:02:46] Hold me darlin' I'm thirsty

[00:02:49] I just blew in from the ruins of paradise

[00:02:56] I just blew in from the ruins of paradise

[00:03:04] I just blew in from the ruins of paradise
