Go west
paradise is there
you'll have all that you can eat
of milk and honey over there
you'll be the brightest star
the world has ever seen
sun-baked slender heroine
of film and magazine
go west
paradise is there
you'll have all that you can eat
of milk and honey over there
you'll be the brightest light
the world has ever seen
the dizzy height of a jet-set life
you could never dream
your pale blue eyes
strawberry hair
lips so sweet
skin so fair
your future bright
beyond compare
it's rags to riches
over there
San Andreas Fault
moved it's fingers
through the ground
earth divided
plates collided
such an awful sound
San Andreas Fault
moved its fingers
through the ground
terra cotta shattered
and walls came
tumbling down
o promised land
o wicked ground
build a dream
tear it down
o promised land
what a wicked ground
build a dream
watch it fall down
paradise is there

Natalie Merchant
Natalie Anne Merchant (born October 26, 1963) is an American singer-songwriter. She joined the band 10,000 Maniacs in 1981 and was lead vocalist and primary lyricist for the group. She remained with the group for their first seven albums before leaving to begin her solo career in 1993. She has since released nine studio albums as a solo artist.

The Main Mix
The bass line and the tone achieved by the guitarist are not too shabby, either.
Original post was a reasonable comment, even if I disagree with it. Your comment was totally out of line, even though I like Natalie Merchant and the Indigo Girls.
This song rule my world, since I hear it as the first time!
I'm so thankful!
Isn't it purely different English - British and American?
It's enough to make one's fanny tingle....

Your right must have been in a bad mood that day my apologies
Perhaps you should have got 'tires' instead, lol.

Ophelia was a FANTASTIC disc. Easily as good, if not better, than Tiger Lilly. Motherland is also a very good disc but less commercial to be sure. One thing for certain is that she sustained her "level of artistry" thru all 3 offerings and is still a great artist.
Well well well, we all have our favorites do we not?
In agreement we are here too.
Yes, "mesmeric" and "mesmerize" are both words which originated from the name of Franz Mesmer, describing aspects of his theories of "animal magnetism" and all-consuming attention.
I know - responding to a five-year-old post.
I feel like Radio Paradise is unique in it's ability to facilitate conversations across many years, in 2-4 minute bursts.
Please double check the release year for Tigerlily. My memory and Wikipedia state that the album was released in 1995. I remember because I wrote that entire summer with Tigerlily as background.
Keep up the fantastic work!
