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
Ha ha ha
ha ha ha haa
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 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 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 my ship is oversold
You 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 got one last
chance to try
