Golden Earring : Paradise in Distress (Single)
Les paroles
NL VERSION
1. 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)
2. ARE YOU RECEIVING ME
If your circles could be spirals
And your idols weren't machines
If you could pick up all the signals
And flash on where you've been
Maybe you don't feel it at all
It's your own fault crawl boy, crawl!
If you could quit the miming
And try some different timing
You could get a chance to be free
Are you receiving me
It's the pilot's plea
Are you receiving me
Close to insanity
Are you receiving me
Recharge your battery
Are you receiving me
(Or are you out to lunch)
If your prayers could all be answered
And you were given time to pay
The chances would be so heavy
But you'd find a better way

(See lyrics on track 1 NL Version)
2. FLUID CONDUCTION
I've been sleepin' all day, slummin' all night
In a 44 hour sedation
Since the day you cut me outta your life
The night I killed your patience
Always try to lie to you
The truth is that I love you
Need you more than anything
Without you I discover
I'm a maniac and a menace
Headin' for destruction
Your lips I miss,
Your tears, your hips
Your piss, your blood, the way you function
Maybe I should thank some God
For your amazing fluid conduction
It was Max, the king of facts
He made me steal for your number
Promised not to tell on him
But you know me, I'm a sucker
Your lips I miss,
Your tears, your hips
Your piss, your blood,
The way you function
Maybe I should thank some God
For your amazing fluid conduction
3. LEATHER
Love at first sight, lasts all night
Baby from the moment you open my fly
It's been alright, for my gesundheit
And baby from the moment you cross my eye
Here it comes, here it comes
I don't know where to go, it's a sadomasochism
Sharper than a razor she hurts me with a laser-beam
Medieval server, she do me no favour in between
She stole, she stole my hard-earned money
I got the straps on, you're having your fun
Baby from the moment you beat my drum
It's been alright, for my gesundheit
Baby from the moment you open my eye
Here it comes, here it comes
I don't know where to go, it's a sadomasochism
Sharper than a razor she hurts me with a laser-beam
Medieval server, she do me no favour in between
She stole, she stole my dignity
Burnin' leather, keeps her together
Burnin' leather, keeps her together
Burnin' leather, keeps her together
Burnin' leather, keeps her together
4. ARE YOU RECEIVING ME
