Paradise City lyrics

Just a` 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

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 doin` their time

Chorus:

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

Chorus

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
