Paradise City

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 something to eat
I'll pay you another time

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 a just a game
You treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doing 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 (uh-uh-uh)
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

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've cigarette but i can't see

Captain America's been torn apart now
He's a court jester with a broken heart, he said
"Turn me around, take me back to the start"
I must be losing my mind
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
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

(Take me down) Take me down
(Take me down) Oh, take me down
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me

(Take me down) Ohh
(Take me down) Take me down
Oh, won't you please take me home
