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
Evrybody'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 ya 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

Send "Paradise City" Ringtone to your Cell
