Paradise In Distress

From the Albums:

* Paradise in distress

* Last blast of the century

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 Oldsmobiles

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...
