(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)

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)
