El Dorado

Put a coin in that happy machine
Operator holding
Smell smoke in the wallpaper
Water's boiling

City traffic
You're a killer, uh huh
It's off to Alaska
Never been, uh uh

I was never built for the promised land
Just a wandering Jew
When I die in the desert
Take my bones with you

The sky was red
Cotton candy clouds, uh huh
Then rained for a hundred years
It floated El Dorado

And no one's ever saying I told you so anymore
No one's saying shit
It's quieted down and the gates are wide open
The gate's wide open now
