Iron Maiden - El Dorado

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 Ive 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 How the world will come and play How the world will step this way Take a ticket for the ride How the world of streets of gold See the ship is almost sold You’ve got one last chance to try (solo) So gone is the glory And gone is the gold Well if you need a story Ill 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 How the world will come and play How the world will step this way Take a ticket for the ride How the world of streets of gold See the ship is almost sold You’ve got one last chance to try How the world will come and play How the world will step this way Take a ticket for the ride How the world of streets of gold See the ship is almost sold You’ve got one last chance to try.
