Golden Earring - Paradise In Distress

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)
