Lyrics
1:02Gotta tell you a story
1:05On a cold winter's night
1:08You'll be sailing for glory
1:11Before you know what is right
1:15So come over here now
1:17I got a vision for you
1:21It's my personal snake oil
1:23It's just something I do
1:27I'm the jester with no tears
1:30And I'm playing on your fears
1:33I'm a trickster smiling underneath
1:36This mask of love and death
1:39The eternal lie I've told
1:42About the pyramids of gold
1:46I've got you hooked at
1:47Every turn your money's left to burn
2:04You'll be wanting a contract
2:08You'll be waiting a while
2:11I'd like to give you my contact
2:13But that isn't my style
2:17Well you only get one chance
2:20And it's too good to miss
2:23If I gave a lot to ya
2:26Then I wouldn't exist
2:29Greed lust and angry pride
2:32It's the same old same old ride
2:36The smoke and mirrors visions
2:38That you see are just like me
2:41I'm a clever banker's face
2:44With just a letter out of place
2:47I know someone just like
2:49You knows someone just like me
2:53El dorado come and play
2:57El dorado step this way
3:00Take a ticket for the ride
3:06El dorado streets of gold
3:09See those shipments over sold
3:12You've got one last chance to try
4:44So gone is the glory
4:47And gone is the gold
4:50Well if you need a story
4:53I've come it has to be told
4:56Well you can say I'm a devil
4:59And I wouldn't say no
5:02But out here on the dark side
5:05Hey on with the show
5:08So now my tale is told
5:11Big and bad and twice as bold
5:15This ship of fools is sinking as the cracks begin to grow
5:21There is no easy way
5:23For an honest man today
5:26Which is something you should
5:28Think of as my life boat sails away
5:32El dorado come and play
5:35El dorado step this way
5:38Take a ticket for the ride
5:44El dorado streets of gold
5:47See those shipments over sold
5:50You've got one last chance to try
5:56El dorado come and play
5:59El dorado step this way
6:02Take a ticket for the ride
6:08El dorado streets of gold
6:11See those shipments over sold
6:14You've got one last chance to try
Gotta 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 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 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
