Текст песни Golden Earring 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)
