Paradise City

[Verse 1] Just an urchin living under the street I'm a hard case, real 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 Rags to riches or so they say You got to keep pushing for the fortune and fame you know it It's all a gamble when it's just a game You treat it like a capital crime Everybody's doing their time [Chorus 1] [x2] 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 [Verse 2] 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 smoke another cigarette but I can't see Tell me who you're going to believe [Chorus 1] [x2] So far away (4x) [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus 1] [x2] [Chorus 2] I want to go I want to know Oh, won't you please take me home [Chorus 3] I want to see Oh, look at me Oh, won't you please take me home [Chorus 1] [x2] Take me down Beat me down Oh, won't you please take me home [Chorus 3] I want to see Boy, I'm going to be mean Oh, oh take me home [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2]
