Guns N’ Roses – Paradise City

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 somethin’ 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’ their 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 believe

[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 losin’ my mind-
“Are you blind?”
I’ve seen it all a million times

[Chorus]

Guns N' Roses - Paradise City

Prevod pesme

Rajski grad

Vodi me u grad snova
Gde je trava zelena
A devojke lepe
Kući vodi me

Samo vragolan
što na ulici živi
Ja sam tvrd orah
kojeg je teško savladati
Ja sam tvoj socijalni slučaj
Zato, nešto za jelo mi kupi
Drugi put platiću ti
Idemo do kraja

Preko trnja do zvezda, tako bar kažu
Moraš se probijati
za bogatstvo i slavu
Sve je to kocka
Kad je samo igra
Ponašaš se kao da je to doživotna robija
Svako izdržava svoju kaznu

[Refren:]

Privezan za stolicu
gradske gasne komore
Zašto sam tu, ne sećam se najbolje
Glavni lekar kaže
da je disanje opasno je
Zapalio bih još jednu cigaretu
ali ne vidim
Reci mi, kome ćeš verovati

[Refren]

Tako daleko
Tako daleko
Tako daleko
Tako daleko

Kapetan Amerika je raščerečen
On je sad dvorska luda
slomljenog srca
Rekao je –
Okreni me i
na početak vodi me
Mora da ludim –
“Jesi ti slep?”
Sve sam to već milion puta video

[Refren]
