Last Resort (made popular by Eagles) [vocal version]

She came from private dance

The one in rhode island

Where the old world shadows hand heavy in the air

She packed her hopes and dreams

Like a refugee

Just as her father came across the sea

She heard about the place people were smiling

They spoke about the red man's ways

And how they loved the land

And they came from everywhere

To the great divide

Seeking a place to stand

Or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars

Out for a good time

Can't wait to tell you all what it's like up there

And they called it paradise

I don't know why

Somebody laid the mountains low

While the town got high

And then the chilly winds blew down across the desert

Through the canyons of the coast

To the malibu

Where the pretty people play

Hungry for power to light their neon ways

And give them things to do

Some rich men came and raped and landed

Nobody caught them

Put up a bunch of ugly boxes

And jesus we both bought them

And they called it paradise

The place to be

They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea

And we can leave it all behind

And sail to the higher

Just like the missionaries did

So many years ago they even bought a neon sign

Saying jesus is coming

Brought the white man's burden down

And brought the white man's rain

Who will provide the grand design and what is

Yours and what is mine

Cause there is no more new frontier

We have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs

And justify our bloody deeds

In the name of destiny

And in the name of god

And you can see them there

On sunday morning

Stand up and sing out loud

What it's like up there

They called it paradise

I don't know why you come someplace paradise

Kiss it goodbye
