Gates of Pairidaeza ft. The Rizzo Brothers, Chris Geil, Jon Rizzo, Eric Geil & Ensemble Lyrics

I recall before time

Trapped in the cosmos

I was bright

As a morning star

When i hazard my fortune

And escaped from that prison

I put myself right where you are

At first i'll admit

This place seemed unsettling

Terrestrial, corporeal

Petechial, boring

Then my mind started wracking

How to augment this lemon

So here's my pitch

Pairidaeza

When you were excused

From your cage behind the wall

You saw the gloom

And thought your life was over

Then i came along

And i sang a different tune

We're gonna build our own place

Me and you

We'll be saying

Step right up

As fast as you can

There is something

For every child, woman, and man

There are sights to amaze

Your mind will expand

By walking right through those gates

Step right in, this magical place

It puts a big smile all over your face

No fussin' no fightin' no need for debates my friend

Through the gates of pairidaeza

When you were enslaved

You learned a useful trade

You made that garden

Shine like diamonds

I've ambition can-do and the brains

We're gonna build our garden

Me and you!

We'll be saying!

Step right up

While tickets are free

The line stretches way round the corner

You see

It will change your life

That we guarantee

By walking right through those gates

You gotta sit right down

And clear your mind

Leave all you cares, thoughts, and worries behind

Your soul gets remodeled, retooled, redesigned, my friend

Through the gates of pairidaeza

We have gardens and fountains

And benches for lounging

Butterflies, fireflies, dragonflies, abounding

Bells of bamboo

Hammered brass and copper

A teakwood pergola

Shaped like an otter

Why an otter

Why not

Step right up, step right in

You gotta step right up, step right in

Step right up, step right in

You gotta step right up, step right in

You gotta step right up, step right in

You gotta step right up, step right in

You gotta step right up, step right in

You gotta step right step right step right step sight

Step right up the gates' open wide

With beauty and clarity waiting inside

If you're feeling low, we'll get you high

By walking right through those gates

You gotta' step right through this portal of bliss

Your spirit needs a big hug and a kiss

You're gonna see something you don't want to miss my friends

Through the gates of pairidaeza

What do you say

Do you want to change the world with me

Are we partners?
