Guns N’ Roses – Paradise City – 1988

    Paroles

    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
