Guns' N' Roses - Paradise City lyrics

rate me

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

To the paradise city

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

Just an urchin living under the street

I'm a hard case that's tough to beat

I'm your charity case

So buy me something 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 got to - keep pushing for the fortune and fame you know

It's all a gamble when it's just a game

You treat it like a capital crime

Everybody's doing 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

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 going to believe

Take me down

To the paradise city

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

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

So far away (4x)

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

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

To the paradise city

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

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 wanna go

I wanna know

Oh, won't you please take me home

I wanna 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

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

Beat me down

Oh, won't you please take me home

I wanna see

Oh, look at me

Oh, won't you please take me home

I wanna see

Boy, I'm going to 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 wanna go

I wanna know

Oh, won't you please take me home

Yeah, baby

Yeah
