Paradise City lyrics

(Refrain:)

Take me down to the paradise city

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Take me home

Take me down to the paradise city

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

Just an urchin livin' under the street

I'm a hard case that's tough to beat

I'm your charity case

So buy me somethin' to eat

I'll pay you at another time

Take it to the end of the line

Rags to riches

Or so they say

You gotta

Keep pushin' for the fortune and fame

You know it's, it's all a gamble

When it's just a game

You treat it like a capital crime

Everybody' doin' their time

(Refrain)

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber

Why I'm here, I can't quite remember

The surgeon general say's it's hazardous to breathe

I'd have another cigarette

But I can't see

Tell me that you're gonna believe

(Refrain)

So far away (x4)

Captain America's been torn apart

Now he's a court jester

With a broken heart

He said turn me around

And take me back to the start

I must be losing my mind

"Are you blind?!"

I've seen it all a mllion times

(Refrain x2)

I want to go

I want to know

Oh, won't you please take me home

I want to see

Oh, look at me

Oh, won't you please take me home

(Refrain)

Take me down

Oh yeah

Beat me down

Oh, won't you please take me home

I want to see

Oh, look at me

Oh, won't you please take me home

I want to see

Boy, I'm gonna be mean

Oh, oh take me home

Take me down to the paradise city

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

I want to go

I want to know

Oh, won't you please take me hooooooome
