Lyrics
|
|
Take me down to the Paradise City
|
|
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
|
|
Take me home (I want 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 (I want you, please, take me home)
|
|
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 somethin' to eat
|
|
I'll pay you at another time
|
|
Take it to the end of the line
|
|
Rags and riches, or so they say, you gotta
|
|
Keep pushing 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 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? Yeah-yeah
|
|
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, 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? Yeah
|
|
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"
|
|
Chorus x2
|
|
I wanna go, I wanna know
|
|
I want you, please, take me home
|
|
I wanna see how good it can be
|
|
I want you, please, take me home
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Take me down, ooh yeah, spin me 'round
|
|
Oh, won't you please take me home?
|
|
I wanna see how good it can be
|
|
I want you, please, take me home
|
|
Chorus
