Paradise City (Live)

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

You 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 capital crime

Everybody' doin' 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 that 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 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
