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 an 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 -- 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' doin' their time
CHORUS x2
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber -- Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The surgoen general say's it's hazardous to breathe -- I'd have another cigarette, but I can't see
-- Tell me who you're gonna believe
CHORUS x2
SOLO 1
So far away... So far away... So far away... So far away...
Capitain 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 mllion times
CHORUS x4
Won't ya.. take me home...
OUTRO - double speed
SOLO 2
CHORUS x6
I want to go, I want to know -- Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to see, Oh, look at me -- Oh, won't you please take me home
Oh I wanna go, I wanna go, Oh, won't you please take me hooooooome.. Baby! Please!
