Paradise City Lyrics

Paradise City lyrics

Paradise City
Guns N Roses

CHORUS

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 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
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
Everybody's doin the 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 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 losing my mind "are you blind?"
I've seen it all a
million times

CHORUS
