EL DORADO

Got to tell you a story on a cold winter's night You'll be sailing for glory before you know what is right So come over here now I got a vision for you It's my personal snake oil it's just something I do I'm the jester with no tears and I'm playing on your fears I'm a trickster smiling underneath this mask of love and death The eternal lie I've told about the pyramids of gold I've got you hooked at every turn your money's left to burn You'll be wanting a contract you'll be waiting a while I'd like to give you my contact but that isn't my style Well you only get one chance and it's too good to miss If I didn't lie to you then I wouldn't exist Greed lust and envy pride it's the same old same old ride The smoke and mirrors visions that you see are just like me I'm a clever banker's face with just a letter out of place I know someone just like you knows someone just like me El Dorado come and play El Dorado step this way Take a ticket for the ride El Dorado streets of gold see my ship is oversold You've got once last chance to try So gone is the glory and gone is the gold Well if you knew the story how come it has to be told Well you can say I'm a devil and I wouldn't say no But out here on the dark side hey on with the show So now my tale is told Big and bad and twice as bold This ship of fools is sinking As the cracks begin to grow There is no easy way For an honest man today Which is something you should think on as my life boat sails away El Dorado come and play El Dorado step this way Take a ticket for the ride El Dorado streets of gold see my ship is oversold You've got once last chance to try El Dorado come and play El Dorado step this way Take a ticket for the ride El Dorado streets of gold see my ship is oversold You've got once last chance to try
