LYRICS:
[Chorus x2]
Take me down to the paradise city / Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty / 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 /
It's all a gamble when it's just a game / Ya treat it like a capital crime /
Everybody's doin' the 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 beIieve
[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 losing my mind "are you blind?" /
I've seen it all a million times
[Chorus]
Take me down to the paradise city / Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty / 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 /
It's all a gamble when it's just a game / Ya treat it like a capital crime /
Everybody's doin' the 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 beIieve
[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 losing my mind "are you blind?" /
I've seen it all a million times
[Chorus]
