Paradise
City
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
Everybody'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 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
