Paradise City
Guns N' Roses
 
 Chorus:
Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green
and the girls are pretty. Take me home! (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! (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 capitol crime, everybody' doin' their time

{Chorus}

Strapped in the chair of the city 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?

{Chorus, then Solo}

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 losing 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, yeah, 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?
Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green
and the girls are pretty. Take me home, yeah, 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?

I want to go, I want to know. Oh, won't you please take me home?
I want to see, oh, look at me. 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?

Take me down, oh yeah, beat me down. Oh, won't you please take me home?
I want to see, oh, look at me. Oh, won't you please take me home?
I want to see, boy, I'm gonna be mean. Oh, oh 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 want to go, I want to know. Oh, won't you please take me home
Yeah, baby!
