El Dorado

Gotta tell you a story
On a cold winters 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 hung down, every turn,
Your money's left to burn
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

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

Free lust and envied pride
Is the same old same old way
The smoke and mirrors visions that you see
Are just like me
I'm a clever bankers face
With just a letter out of place
I know someone just like you know 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 the ship is almost 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'll come, it has to be told

Well you could 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 cracks begin to grow
There is no easy way
For an honest man to die
Which is something you should think of
As my lifeboat sails away

El Dorado come and play
El Dorado step this way
Take a ticket for the ride

El Dorado streets of gold
See the ship is almost sold
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 the ship is almost sold
You've got one last chance to try
