Iron Maiden - El Dorado Lyrics
Gotta tell you a storyOn a cold winters nightYou'll be sailin for gloryBefore you know what is rightSo come over here nowI got a vision for youIt's my personal snake oilIt's just something I doI'm the jester with no tearsAnd I'm playing on your fearsI'm a trickster smiling underneath this mask of love and deathThe eternal lie I've toldAbout the pyramids of goldI've got you hooked at every turn your money's left to burnYou'll be wanting a contractYou'll be waiting a whileI'd like to give you my contactBut that isn't my styleWell you only get one chanceAnd it's too good to missIf I gave a lot to yaThen I wouldn't existGreed, lust and angry prideIt's the same old, same old rideThe smoke and mirrors visions that you see are just like meI'm a banker's faceWith just a letter out of placeI know someone just like you knows someone just like meEl Dorado come and playEl Dorado step this wayTake a ticket for the rideEl Dorado streets of goldSee those over soldYou've got one last chance to trySo gone is the gloryAnd gone is the goldWell if you need a storyI've come it has to be toldWell you can say I'm a devilAnd I wouldn't say noBut out here on the dark sideHey, on with the showSo is toldBig and bad and twice as boldThis ship of fools is sinking as the cracks begin to growThere is no easy wayFor an honest man todayWhich is something you should think of as my life boat sails awayEl Dorado come and playEl Dorado step this wayTake a ticket for the rideEl Dorado streets of goldSee those over soldYou've got one last chance to try
