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've got a vision for you It's my personal snake oil It's just something I do
I'm a jester with no tears And I'm playing on your fears I'm a trixter 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 mind is left to burn Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
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 ya Then I wouldn't exist
Greed, lust, and angry pride It's the same old same old way The smoke and mirrors visions That you see, and just like me
I'm a clever man who's face Is just a little 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 my ship is oversold You've got one last chance to try
(3:40) Solo: Adrian Smith (3:53) Solo: Dave Murray (4:05) Solo: Janick Gers
So gone is the glory And gone is the gold Well if you knew the story How come it has to be told?
Will you say I'm a devil? And I wouldn't say no But out here on the dark side Hey...on with the show
So another tale is told Big and bad and twice as bold This ship of fool 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 id oversold 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 my ship id oversold You've got one last chance to try
