Song Lyrics

[Chorus: x2]

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
I want ya please take me home

Just a` urchin
livin` under the street come on
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
You know It`s all a gamble
When it`s just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody`s doin` their time

[Chorus:]

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]

I wanna go
I wanna know
I wanna please take my home
I wanna see
Aaahhh give it to me
I wanna please take me home
Take down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are prety TAKE ME HOME!

Take down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are prety TAKE ME HOME!
Take my down ooh yea
Send me down
I wanna please take me home
I wanna see
Boy give it to me
I wanna please take me home
I wanna see
Boy I goona to be
Ahhh ahhh take me hohohome

Take me down To the paradise city Where the grass is green And the girls are pretty I want ya please take me home
I wanna go I wanna now
I wanna please take me
HOME
YAE BABY
pleas
