Paradise City Lyrics By Guns N Roses

    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
    take me home 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 and riches or so they say you gotta
    keep pushing 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 capital crime everybody’s doing the 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 yeahyeah
    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

    take me down to the paradise city
    where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
    take me home yeahyeah
    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 oh yeah

    so faraway
    so faraway
    so faraway
    so faraway

    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 yeahyeah
    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 yeahyeah
    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 home

    i wanna go i wanna know
    oh won’t you please take me home
    i wanna see how good it can be
    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 spin me ’round
    oh won’t you please take me home
    i wanna see how good it can be
    oh won’t you please take me home
    i wanna see how good it can be
    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
