Paradise in distress lyrics
by Golden Earring
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
Yeah
(Shake you sinner)
(Shake you sinner)
Jesus won't drive nothin' but a shiny white Mercedes
And all the angels gotta settle for second hand Oldsmobile
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)
(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 there's paradise in distress
(Shake you sinner)
(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 there's paradise in distress
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new
Devil just bought a brand new penthouse in heaven
