When I first came to the city of the angels
When I was in my prime
Stepped right through the gates to the city
Aw, my keeper said they would be mine
But the satisfied saints with dime store visions
Don't even begin to see
That paradise lost was paradise gained
I know I claimed it gracelessly

Step right through the gates to the city
Step right through the gates to the city now
Step right through
Step right through the gates to the city now
Step right through

When I first came to the city of the angels
No man was left alive
Little up the road man feathers in their head man
You should've seen them feathers fly

Step right through the gates to the city
Step right through the gates to the city now
Step right through
Step right through the gates to the city now
Step right through

When I first came to the city of the angels
When I was in my prime
Stepped right through the gates to the city
Aw, my keeper said they would be mine
But the satisfied saints with dime store visions
Don't even begin to see
That paradise lost was paradise gained
I know I claimed it gracelessly

Step right through the gates to the city
Step right through the gates to the city now
Step right through
Step right through the gates to the city now
Step right through
