| 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 |
