guns'n'roses - paradise city

CHORUS x2

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 by 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 capitol crime

Everybody' doin' their time



CHORUS x2



Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber

Why I'm here, I can't quite remember

The surgoen general say's it's hazardous to breathe

I'd have another cigarette

But I can't see

Tell me that you're gonna believe



CHORUS x2



So far away x4



Capitain 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 mllion times



CHORUS x4



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 (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

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 hooooooome

Baby
