Gotta tell you a story

 On a cold winter's night

 You'll been 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 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, Ha!

 You'll be waiting a while

 I'd like to keep you my contact

 But that isn't my style

 Well, you'll only get one chance

 And it's too good to miss

 If I didn't lie to you

 Then I wouldn't exist



 Greed, lust, and envy pry

 It's the same old same old way

 The smoke and mirrors

 Visions that you see are just like me

 I'm a clever banker's face

 With 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 the ship its 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 may 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

 The 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 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 its 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 its oversold

 You've got one last chance to try
