Paradise In Distress

(앨범: Paradise In Distress - 1999)

Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
There goes the old neighbourhood
There goes the old neighbourhood
There goes the good old neighbourhood on a one way trip to hell
(Shake you sinner)

Jesus won't drive nothing but a shiny white Mercedes
And all the angels gotta settle for second hand Oldsmobile's
The virgin Mary loses faith and starts a chain-reaction
The Lord just stands there weeping bitter tears in the rain
Ain't that a shame...
(Shake you sinner!)

Almost as if the bad guys, got the good guys on the run
All in the line of expectation, in the eyes of the evil one
Like a mad bull charging through a closet of porcelain 'Made in China'
Saddling up the righteous, with nightmares full of trauma

Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
There goes the old neighbourhood
There goes the old neighbourhood
There goes the good old neighbourhood moving on down to hell

There's no one here, there's nothing left
No one here to kiss or bless
This damp and dark unholy mess
You could say: Paradise in distress
(Shake you sinner)

Behind the clouds there's a silver line
The sun just can't stop waiting
To put a shine on a clear blue sky
And kill the pessimist in me
Meanwhile, there's no one here, there's nothing left
No one here to kiss or bless
This damp and dark unholy mess
You could say: Paradise in distress
(Shake you sinner)
