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
