"Paradise In Distress"

 

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 nothin' 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 weepin' 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 chargin' through a closet of porcelain 'Made in China'

Saddlin' 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 movin' on down to hell



There's no one here, there's nothin' 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 waitin'

To put a shine on a clear blue sky

And kill the pessimist in me

Meanwhile, there's no one here, there's nothin' left

No one here to kiss or bless

This damp and dark unholy mess

You could say: Paradise in distress

(Shake you sinner)
