paradise city - joetown & jimi bell lyrics
[chorus]
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?
[instrumental break]
[verse 1]
just an urchin livin’ under the street, a
hard case that’s tough to beat
i’m your charity case, so get me somethin’ to eat
i’ll pay you at another time, take it to the end of the line
[verse 2]
rags to riches, or so they say, you gotta
keep pushin’ for the fortune and fame
you know it’s all just a gamble when it’s just a game
you treat it like a capital crime, everybody doin’ the time
[chorus]
(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?
[verse 3]
strapped in the chair of the city’s gas chamber
why i’m here, i can’t quite remember
surgeon general said it’s hazardous to breathe
i have another cigarette, but i can’t see
tell me who you’re gonna believe
[chorus]
(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?
[guitar solo]
[bridge]
so far away
so far away
so far away
so far away
[verse 4]
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 seen it all a million times
[chorus]
(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?
(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?
[post*chorus]
home
[guitar solo]
[bridge]
i wanna go, i wanna know
oh, won’t you please take me home?
i wanna see how good it can be
oh, please take me home?
yeah
[chorus]
oh, 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?
[outro]
i wanna see, oh, how good it can be
oh, oh, take me home
oh, 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?
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 go
oh, won’t you please take me home? yeah
yeah
