Paradise City

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

So I'll just let it go I've lost my interest in control I only care to fill in the hole Left by what I wish you stole What I took, from myself, I gave it to everyone else Spread it all around, until my soul can't be found Isn't this what dreams are made of? Well, it's not what I'm made for anymore, anymore (I will never be released if I am the whore I will never find peace, in a place of war) So I'll just let it go I've lost my interest in control I only care to fill in the hole Left by what I wish you stole I'm sorry that I don't wanna ride along I'm sorry that I think something's wrong And I forgive you for pushing me away And I forgive you for wanting it all your way But one thing, I'm not sorry for is singing this song to you Goodbye So I'll just let it go I've lost my interest in control I only care to fill in the hole Left by what I wish you stole

I've never known a girl like you before Just like in a song from days of yore Here you come knock-knocking on my door I never met a girl like you before You give me just a taste so I want more Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw You got me, crawl, crawling on the floor I've never met a girl like you before You make me acknowledge the devil in me I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically Hope that I'm talking allegorically Know that I'm talking 'bout the way I feel And I never known a girl like you before, never Never, never, never, never I've never known a girl like you before
