Gonna tell you a story,
On a cold winter's night
You've been 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

(hahaha)

You'll be wanting a contract Ha!
You'll be waiting awhile
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 ya, then I wouldn't exist

Greed, lust and envy cry,
It's the same old same old lie
The Smoke and mirrors,
Visions that you see are just like me
I'm a clever man
Whose face is just a little outta place
I know Someone just like you
Knows someone just like me

El Dorado come and play
El Dorado stuck this way
Take a ticket for the ride

El Dorado streets of gold
See the ship is almost sold
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 darkside,
Hey! on with the show

So then 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 stuck this way
Take a ticket for the ride

El Dorado streets of gold
See the ship is almost sold
You got one last chance to try

El Dorado come and play
El Dorado's left this way
Take a ticket for the ride

El Dorado streets of gold
See the ship is almost sold
You got one last chance to try
