Paradise City

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 something to eat I'll pay you at another time Take it to the end of the line [Verse 2] Rags to riches or so they say You 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 doing the time [Chorus] Take me down to the Paradise City Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Take me home, 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 [Bridge] So far away So far away So far away So far away [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] Take me down to the Paradise City Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Take me home, yeah Take me down to the Paradise City Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Take me home, 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? Home [Outro] Oh, I wanna go, I wanna go Oh, won't you please take me home? I wanna see how good it can be 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? I wanna go, I wanna know Oh, won't you please take me home? Baby, huh
