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 hung down, every turn, your money's 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 you

Then I wouldn't exist

Free lust and envied pride

Is the same old same old way

The smoke and mirrors visions that you see

Are just like me

I'm a clever bankers 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 the ship is oversold

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'll come, it has to be told

Well you could 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 cracks begin to grow

There is no easy way

For an honest man to die

Which is something you should think of

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 the ship is 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 the ship is oversold

You've got one last chance to try.
