El Dorado Lyrics - The Final Frontier - Iron Maiden

Got to tell you a story 

On a cold winter's 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 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 didn't lie to you 

Then I wouldn't exist 

Greed, lust and envy, 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 oversold 

You've got one last chance to try 

So, gone is the glory 

And gone is the gold 

Well, if you knew the 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 on 

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, my 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, my ship is oversold 

You've got one last chance to try
