Paradise City
GUNS NґROSES Lyrics

Take me down to the paradise city
I want to go to a place where I can experience happiness and contentment.

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
I desire to go to a place that is beautiful and full of attractive people.

Take me home (oh won't you please take me home)
I want to go back to a place that I consider my home.

Just a urchin livin' under the street
I am a poor and neglected person living in a difficult situation.

I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I am a very resilient and tough person.

I'm your charity case so buy me something to eat
I am asking for assistance and would appreciate some food.

I'll pay you at another time
I do not have any money now but promise to pay you back in the future.

Take it to the end of the line
Wait until the very last moment before I pay you back.

Rags to riches or so they say
People claim that it is possible to go from being poor to being wealthy.

Ya gotta keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
You have to work hard if you want to become rich and famous.

You know it's all a gamble when it's just a game
Success is uncertain and risky, especially in things like show business.

Ya treat it like a capital crime
People are overly serious and zealous when it comes to achieving success.

Everybody's doin' the time
Everyone has to put in the effort and work hard to achieve success.

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
I feel trapped, confined, and under pressure in a dangerous situation.

Why I'm here I can't quite remember
I am unsure why I am in this situation.

The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
Doctors advise against exposing oneself to harmful chemicals in the environment.

I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
I want to smoke another cigarette but it is difficult for me to do so.

Tell me who you're gonna believe
There are different opinions and sources of information, so who should one trust?

So far away
A place or situation that is distant or difficult to reach.

Captain America's been torn apart
Even iconic and heroic figures can experience pain and suffering.

Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
Someone who was once noble and respected can become a sad and humiliated figure.

He said "turn me around and take me back to the start"
I want to go back to where things started and begin anew.

I must be losing my mind "are you blind?"
I am frustrated and cannot understand why others cannot see things my way.

I've seen it all a million times
I have experienced so many things that nothing surprises me anymore.

I wanna go, I wanna know
I am eager to experience new things and gain knowledge.

I wanna see how good it can be
I want to experience the best that life has to offer.

Take me down, lead me 'round
Show me around and help me experience everything there is to offer.

I wanna see, what a woman can be
I am curious about the many different facets of femininity.
