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 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 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 those shipments 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 |
|
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 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 those shipments 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 those shipments over sold |
|
You've got one last chance to try |
