In my house of gold
I am not alone
The secrets of this world
I have always known

In my house of gold
The penthouse glows
A beacon in the mist
With marble floors 

Come to my house of gold
I want your heart and soul
Watch your dreams unfold
In my house of gold
In my house of gold

In my house of gold
Futures bought and sold
And I replace my toys
With ones not old

In my house of gold
Walls are ages old
If anyone divulged
Wild stories told

Come to my house of gold
I want your heart and soul
Watch your dreams unfold
In my house of gold
In my house of gold

In this shiny house
No crowns are thorns
So I raise a toast
To privilege I was born
 
In my house of gold
I am in control
At what price you ask?
A force to behold

Come to my house of gold
I want your heart and soul
Watch your dreams unfold
In my house of gold
In my house of gold

Share the feast
Calm the beast
Sensations are in reach
See the lights
Scale the heights
Always win your fight
In my house of gold

In my house of gold
In my house of gold
In my house of gold
In my house of gold
In my house of gold
In my house of gold
Gold
Gold

House Of Gold

DO THE CARDS SEEM STACKED TO YOU OR
ARE YOUR LUCKY STARS THE ISSUE
HAVE THE FATES THREE SINGLED OUT
ONE HUMAN FROM THE RACE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

ARE YOU SINKING TO YOUR KNEES OR
WILL YOU NAME THE DAY AND SIEZE
WILL YOU WATCH FRIENDS PASS YOU BY
OR DOMINATE THE RACE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

ZIPADEEDOODA ZIPADEEDAY

IS THAT GLEAM IN BOTH YOUR EYES OR
DOES YOUR LEFT LID SERVE TO DISGUISE
THE FEARS THAT CAST THE FIRST STONE
AND SMASHED ONE WINDOW OF YOUR SOUL

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

DOES YOUR LOW-LIFE SEEM KIND OF BLUE OR
DOES IT SUIT THE LIKES OF YOU
IS IT EVERYTHING YOU WANT OR
WOULD YOU LIKE A CHANGE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

ZIPADEEDOODA ZIPADEEDAY

HAVE YOUR DREAMS SEEN ASH AND DUST
BLOWN UP IN YOUR FACE
IS YOUR WORLD AN EMPTY SHELL
SPIRALLING IN SPACE

YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THE THROAT
PUSH OUT THE BOAT
AND GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE
YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR BAROQUE
LIFE IS A JOKE
SO GO GO GO FOR YOUR LIFE

The original basic piano melody here has gone through several 'evolutions', appearing in a number of my other songs. But this 2024 version with the EC gang is definitely the most... recent   ;)
Kidding. 
It's actually like a totally different piece of music, where these guys flexed their masterful musical muscles to take it to a place I would never have imagined on my own! Fantastic job guys! 

Here are the other very different versions based on the main piano theme:

  - Away With The Rapids (2023 with the Eclectic Collective)

Cast of Characters:
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark—electric piano, composition
Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel --MD—lyrics and primary vocals
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –organ, synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion, arrangement, production, mix
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass guitar, lap steel 
This was brought to us by Mark, who had written it a while back, but wanted to dust it off and give the Eclectic Collective a shot at it. He recorded it with a keen eye toward collaboration with an electric piano synth with heavy stereo tremolo. We just recently found Mark, and he has proven to be a very creative, passionate, and easy to work with collaborator—all the good things. 
  Mark set it loose to Josh first, who of course got Ken in on the act before anything else could transpire. After Ken added his wildly creative, very skillful drum beat, Josh was able to come up with a suitable bass line. He also came up with the lap slide part you hear with the heavy tremolo. Then they turned it over to Stephen, who added a very psychedelic, electrifying solo at the end. Also, JJ set upon it with a very hooky organ. 
  Last, but certainly not least, MD came up with the lyrics, which are a metaphor for trying to break into the business of music, and delivered his fiery vocals, too. Then, we all realized that the song wasn't long enough for our ambitions, so Ken came up with an idea for the arrangement, and lengthened the song to suit our needs. He also very ably mixed and produced this one for us. We had a lot of fun working on Mark's tune. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Lyrics (by The Mysterious Decibel):
 
Sometimes when we shout they can't hear us under the flow
Of the rapids

I'm screaming from the other side of the river
A shot to try
can you hear me?
I'm jumping in and swimming straight to you

All I can say is I tried
I tried and I met my own waterfall
A short way down
Did I try hard enough?
Cuz I hit the rocks below just hard enough
To hibernate me without a care
It's all just business and never fair
