IRON MAIDEN lyrics : "El Dorado"

Gotta tell you a story
On a cold winters night
You'll be sailin 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 hooked at every turn your money's left to burn

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 gave a lot to ya
Then I wouldn't exist


Greed, lust and angry pride
It's the same old, same old ride
The smoke and mirrors visions that you see are just like me

I'm a clever banker's face
With just a letter out of place
I know someone just like you knows 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 all but sold

You've got one last chance to try

So gone is the glory

And gone is the gold
Well if you need a story
How come it has to be told


Well you can 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 the cracks begin to grow

There is no easy way
For an honest man today
Which is something you should think of as my life boat 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 all but sold

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 all but sold
You've got one last chance to try
