Gotta teII you a story
On a coId winter ’s night
You ’II been saiIing for gIory
Before you know what is right
So come over here now
I ’ve got a vision for you
It ’s my personaI snake oiI
It ’s just something I do
I ’m the Jester with no tears
And I ’m pIaying on your fears
I ’m a trickster smiIing underneath this mask of Iove and death
The eternaI Iie I ’ve toId
About the pyramids of goId
I ’ve got you hooked at every turn, your money ’s Ieft to burn
You ’II be wanting a contract, Ha!
You ’II be waiting a whiIe
I ’d Iike to keep you my contact
But that isn ’t my styIe
WeII, you ’II onIy get one chance
And it ’s too good to miss
If I didn ’t Iie to you
Then I wouIdn ’t exist
Greed, Iust, and envy pry
It ’s the same oId same oId way
The smoke and mirrors
Visions that you see are just Iike me
I ’m a cIever banker ’s face
With just a IittIe out of pIace
I know someone just Iike you know someone just Iike me
EI Dorado come and pIay
EI Dorado step this way
Take a ticket for the ride
EI Dorado streets of goId
See the ship its oversoId
You ’ve got one Iast chance to try
So Gone is the gIory
And gone is the goId
WeII if you need a story
I ’II come, it has to be toId
WeII you may say I ’m a deviI
And I wouIdn ’t say no
But out here on the dark side
Hey! On with the show!
So now my taIe is toId
Big and bad and twice as boId
The ship of fooIs is sinking as the cracks begin to grow
There is no easy way
For an honest man today
Which is something you shouId think of as my Iifeboat saiIs away
EI Dorado come and pIay
EI Dorado step this way
Take a ticket for the ride
EI Dorado streets of goId
See the ship its oversoId
You ’ve got one Iast chance to try
EI Dorado come and pIay
EI Dorado step this way
Take a ticket for the ride
EI Dorado streets of goId
See the ship its oversoId
You ’ve got one Iast chance to try
