EL DORADO

(Smith/Harris/Dickinson)

 

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 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 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 now my tale is told big and bad and twice as bold

The 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 my ship is over 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 my ship is over sold you've got one last chance to try
