Lyrics : 👇

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (oh won't you please take me home)

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (oh won't you please take me home)

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 something to eat
I'll pay you at another time

Take it to the end of the line
Rags to riches or so they say
Ya gotta keep pushin' for the fortune and fame

You know it's all a gamble when it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' the time

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh won't you please take me home

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah yeah

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

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah yeah

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh won't you please take me home

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 losing my mind "are you blind?"
I've seen it all a million times

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah yeah

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh won't you please take me home

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah yeah

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh won't you please take me home
I wanna go, I wanna go
Oh won't you please take me home
I wanna see how good it can be

Oh won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh won't you please take me home
Take me down, lead me 'round
Oh won't you please take me home
I wanna see, what a woman can be
I want to take you home

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh won't you please take me home
I wanna go, I wanna know
Oh won't you please take me home

 Slash said that "Paradise City" is his favorite Guns N 'Roses song.
