The Last Resort Lyrics - Hell Freezes Over - The Eagles

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 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: 

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
