The Last Resort(Live)

She came from Providence

  • 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
  • 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
  • Some 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 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
  • And sail to Lahaina
  • Just like the missionaries did
  • So many years ago
  • They even brought a neon sign
  • Which said 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
