Paradise City

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty (take me home)

Oh, won't you please take me home?

Take me down to the Paradise City

Oh, won't you please take me home?

Just an urchin living 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 and 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 it like a capital crime

Everybody's doing their time

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home? Yeah-yeah

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, yeah-yeah

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?

Yeah

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 losin' 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, yeah-yeah

Take me down to the Paradise City
