Paradise cityTake me downTo the paradise cityWhere the grass is greenAnd the girls are prettyTake me home(back vocals)I want you please take me home(x 2) Just a' urchin livin' under the streetI'm a hard case that's tough to beatI'm your charity caseSo buy me somethin' to eatI'll pay you at another timeTake it to the end of the line Ragz to richez or so they sayYa gotta-keep pushin' for the fortune and fameYou know it'sIt's all a gambleWhen it's just a gameYa treat it like a capital crimeEverybody's doin' their time Take me downTo the paradise cityWhere the grass is greenAnd the girls are prettyI want you please take me home CHORUS: Take me downTo the paradise cityWhere the grass is greenAnd the girls are prettyTake me home Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamberWhy I'm here I can't quite rememberThe surgeon general says it's hazardous to breatheI'd have another cigarette but I can't seeTell me who you're gonna believe CHORUS Take me downTo the paradise cityWhere the grass is greenAnd the girls are prettyI want you please take me home So far awaySo far awaySo far awaySo far away Captain America's been torn apartNow he's a court jester with a broken heartHe said -Turn me around and take me back to the startI must be losin' my mind - "Are you blind?"I've seen it all a million times CHORUS Take me downTo the paradise cityWhere the grass is greenAnd the girls are prettyI want you please take me home CHORUS Take me downTo the paradise cityWhere the grass is greenAnd the girls are prettyI want you please take me home Paradise city _ Guns n’ Roses _ Appetite for destruction ( 1987 )
