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 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, ya 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's doin' 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, 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, 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, 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, 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, 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, home, home, i wanna go, i wanna go, oh won't you please take me home, i wanna see, 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
