(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)
