Gotta tell you a story
On a cold winters night
Youll be sailin for glory
Before you know what is right
So come over here now
I got a vision for you
Its my personal snake oil
Its just something I do
Im the jester with no tears
And Im playing on your fears
Im a trickster smiling underneath this mask of love and death
The eternal lie Ive told
About the pyramids of gold
Ive got you hooked at every turn your moneys left to burn
Youll be wanting a contract
Youll be waiting a while
Id like to give you my contact
But that isnt my style
Well you only get one chance
And its too good to miss
If I gave a lot to ya
Then I wouldnt exist
Greed, lust and angry pride
Its the same old, same old ride
The smoke and mirrors visions that you see are just like me
Im a bankers 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 the ship is oversold
Youve got one last chance to try
So gone is the glory
And gone is the gold
Well if you need a story
Ive come, it has to be told
Well you can say Im a devil
And I wouldnt 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 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 oversold
Youve 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 oversold
Youve got one last chance to try
