Paradise City
Journey from Urban Struggles to Paradise: The Baseballs' Poetic Tale
Lyrics
Just an urchin living under the street
Describing a humble and poor person living on the streets
I'm a hard case, that's tough to beat
Characterizing oneself as a tough and resilient individual
I'm your charity case, so buy me something to eat
Presenting oneself as someone in need, seeking charity and food
I'll pay you another time
Expressing the intention to repay the kindness later
Rags to riches or so they say
Exploring the concept of moving from poverty to wealth
You got to keep pushing for the fortune and fame
Emphasizing the need to strive for success and recognition
You know it it's all a gamble when it's a just a game
Highlighting the risk and uncertainty in pursuing fame
You treat it like a capital crime
Comparing the pursuit of success to a serious offense
Everybody's doing their time
Observing that everyone faces challenges and consequences
Take me down to the Paradise City
Expressing a desire to go to a place (Paradise City) associated with beauty and allure
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
-Oh, won't you please take me home (uh-uh-uh)
-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
-Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Describing a mysterious and potentially dangerous situation, referencing a gas chamber
Why I'm here i can't quite remember
-The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
-I've cigarette but i can't see
-Captain America's been torn apart now
Depicting Captain America's distress and the desire to go back to the beginning
He's a court jester with a broken heart, he said
-"Turn me around, take me back to the start"
-I must be losing my mind
-I've seen it all a million times
-Take me down to the Paradise City
Reiterating the desire to be taken to Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
-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
-(Take me down) Take me down
Repeating the plea to be taken down to Paradise City
(Take me down) Oh, take me down
-Oh, won't you please take me home
-Take me
A simple plea to be taken
(Take me down) Ohh
Repeating the plea and expressing the desire to go home
(Take me down) Take me down
-Oh, won't you please take me home
