You have to promise not to tell anyone

Secrets seem to find their way out the dark all the timeThe dirty details that you never want brought to the light

If I tell you mine, then know that I′m walking the line

I can't say too much, I′m facin' the edge of a knife

Money is the reason I traded my life

Runnin' now, I′m runnin′ but I cannot hide

Comin' for the favor that he knows that I owe

Oh yeah

El Dorado is the city of gold

And I′ll tell you all its secrets

If you don't tell a soul (yeah)

El Dorado is the city of gold

And I met the fuckin′ devil

Now I reap what I sow

El Dorado is the city of gold

And I went lookin' for the money

But lost track of my soul (yeah)

El Dorado is the city of gold

And I met the fuckin′ devil

Now I reap what I sow

The cost of fame was just a small price to pay at the time

A little favor, and the devil would change up my life

But now I'm on the run, 'cause he wants me dead or alive

The fame and fortune got me trapped in a city of lies

Mirror, mirror sitting up high on the wall

Save me from the devil that′s holdin′ my soul

Comin' for the favor that he knows that I owe

Oh, yeah

El Dorado is the city of gold

And I′ll tell you all its secrets

If you don't tell a soul (yeah)

El Dorado is the city of gold

And I met the fuckin′ devil

Now I reap what I sow

El Dorado is the city of gold

And I went lookin' for the money

But lost track of my soul (yeah)

El Dorado is the city of gold

And I met the fuckin′ devil

Now I reap what I sow
