Neil Young - Eldorado lyrics

[Neil Young - Eldorado lyrics]

In the crystal ball the gypsy sees the villa
The riders on the hill
The fire in the fields
She sees the mission bell
Swinging in the silence
Now the shooting starts
The bullets pierce the hearts
The senoritas crying at the well

Up in the Gold Hotel the
Money hit's the table
The heavies all are there
That's why the deal's going down
Beautiful women all dressed in
Diamonds and sable
Down upon the street beside a garbage heap
A mariachi band begins to play

Somewhere a blues guitar plays
Echoes in the alleyway
The Tijuana dawn claims another day
The golden sun rises on the runway
The pilot understands
The money changes hands
Inside the jet, the briefcase snaps goodbye

In Eldorado town there lives
A great bullfighter
His eyes are screaming blue
His hair is red as blood
And when the gate goes up
The crowd gets so excited
And he comes dancing out dressed in gold lamé
He kills the bull and lives another day
