lyrics

EL DORADO

Think I’ll pack my bags and go
Get a little pad in Mexico in the morning
Maybe Tijuana or Juarez
Take a silver bullet to the head in the morning

’Cause I feel so dejected and diffused
I’ve got them discombobulated blues
Yes I do

Someday I’m gonna find my El Dorado
Gonna drive it to the palace in the sun
Someday upon my painted palomino
Gonna sip the chalice of the Chosen One
In the sun

Now you don’t have to pay the rent
When you wake up as the president in the morning
Private jets and all that jazz
Fly your conscience out to Alcatraz in the morning

But I feel so infected and amused
I got that Foxcombobulated News
And it’s all true

Someday I’m gonna find my El Dorado
Gonna drive it to the palace in the sun
Someday upon my painted palomino
Gonna sip the chalice of the Chosen One
In the sun

¿Donde volaste, mi corazón?

Someday I’m gonna find my El Dorado
Gonna fly it to the palace in the sun
Someday upon my painted palomino
Gonna sip the chalice of the Chosen One
In the sun
