Текст песни Paradise City, Guns N Roses

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
