Gotta tell you a story On a cold winters night You'll be sailin 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 gave a lot to ya Then I wouldn't exist
Greed, lust and angry pride It's the same old, same old ride The smoke and mirrors visions that you see are just like me I'm a 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 those over sold You've got one last chance to try
So gone is the glory And gone is the gold Well if you need a story I've 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 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 of 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 those over sold You've got one last chance to try
