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 one 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 one 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 one last chance to try
