Paradise City

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
Take me home
***
Just a' 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
***
Ragz to richez or so they say
Ya gotta-keep pushin'
for the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya 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
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
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
