[Chorus]
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Whoa, won't ya take me home?
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Whoa, won't ya take me home?
Look out!

[Verse 1]
Just a urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case, fuckin' tough to beat
I'm a charity case, so buy me something to eat
I'll pay you at another time, take it to the end of the line
Beat it!

[Verse 2]
Rags to riches, or so they say, you gotta
Keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
You know, it's all a gamble when it's just a game
You treat it like a capital crime, everybody's doin' the time
[Chorus]
Take me down into the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won't you take me home?
Take me down into the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won't you take me home?
Look out!

[Verse 3]
Right in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
Surgeon General says it's hazardous to breathe
Have another cigarette but I can't take
Well, tell me who you're gonna believe?

[Chorus]
Take me down into the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won't you take me home?
Take me down into the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won't you take me home, yeah-eah, heah!

[Bridge]
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
[Verse 4]
Captain America's been torn apart
He's a court jester with a broken heart
He said, "Turn me around and take me back to the start"
Must be losing my mind, are you blind?
I've seen it all a million times

[Chorus]
Take me down into the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won't you take me home?
Take me down into the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won't you take me home?
Take it!

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Take me down
Gonna set me down
Take me down into the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won't you take me home?
Yeah!
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
I wanna go, I wanna know
Won't you take me home?
I wanna see, how good it can be
Won't you take me home?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah
Baby

[Outro]
Please
Las Vegas
Go
Fuck it
No
Yeah
