Paradise City英文歌词

In the chorus, the lyrics express a longing for a paradise city, a place where nature is lush and the ambiance appealing:

"Take me down

To the paradise city

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Take me home

Strapped in the city's gas chamber

The reason for my presence, a distant memory

The surgeon general warns against the air we breathe

I crave a cigarette, but it's out of sight

Deciding whom to trust, a perplexing choice

Chorus repeats, emphasizing the distance and disconnection:

"So far away

So far away

So far away

From that familiar start

"

The story takes a dramatic turn, with Captain America's transformation into a jesting figure with a broken heart:

"Captain America, once a symbol of strength, now torn apart

Now, he's a court jester, his heart shattered

He pleads, 'Turn me around

And return me to the beginning'

His mind seems to wander, questioning the present

'Are you blind? Have you not seen it all before?' he asks

Chorus concludes the verse, echoing the sense of longing and estrangement:

"So far away

So far away

So far away

From the past he once knew"
