The Last Resort(Live On MTV, 1994)
She came from Providence the one in Rhode Island
- She came from Providence the 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 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 and give them things to do
- Some rich man 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 and 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 called it paradise I don't know why
- You call some place paradise kiss it goodbye
