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
Evrybody'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 ya 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
