Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
& the girls are pretty
Take, (oh won't you please)
Take me home

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
& the girls are pretty
Take, (oh won't you please)
Take me home

Just an urchin livin' under the street,
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 doing their time

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
& 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'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
& the girls are pretty
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

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
& the girls are pretty
Oh won't you please take me home

Oh I wanna go, I wanna go,
Oh won't you please take me home!

paradise city - guns 'n' roses
