Chorus (repeat twice through whole song) take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty oh wont you please take me home *instrumental* 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 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 (repeat 3x) Instrumental i wanna go i wanna know oh wont u please take me home i wanna see i wanna be oh wont u please take me home chorus (until end)
