Paradise City Lyrics

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
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 a urching living under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case so buy me something to eat
I'll pay you at another time take it to the end of the line

Ragz to riches or so they say you gotta
keep pushing for the fortune and fame
you know it's it's all a gamble when it's just a game
you treat I like a capital crime everybody's doing their time

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 yea yea
take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
take me home

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
why I'm here I can't quite remember
the surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
tell me who you're gonna believe

Take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
take me home yea yea
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 yea yea

So far away so far away so far away so far away

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 million times

Take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
take me home yea yea
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

Take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
take me home yea yea
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 wanna go I wanna know oh won't you please take me home
I wanna see I wanna believe oh won't you please take me home
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

Take me down beat me 'round oh won't you please take me home
I wanna see I wanna believe oh won't you please take me home

I wanna see oh I couldn't believe 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 wanna go I wanna know oh won't you please take me home
