Last day the visitor made a trip through my town
We all were dancin' till he took the beat away
Come to think of it, he thought of every last detail
Slipped out late at night
Completely out of sight
Left his message etched into my brain
And now the gates are closed on the road of plenty
That fist comes poundin' down - I feel it every day
It's hard to recognize know if you are full or empty
Here it comes again
You think of your old friend
But now they're not so easily found
Me and my old Corvette, we were running in through the night
Chasin' my blonde lover down Skyline
She saw that xxx and her tail lights flashed to avoid the crash
It was way too late
When she hit the brakes
She went spinnin' with that screeching sound
I was talkin' to my friend, tellin' him how I lucked out
He smiled at me and said, I'm glad you feel that way
And so I wrote that down on a piece of paper
Beside a garbage heap
Down on the street
A mariachi band began to play
In Eldorado town there lives a great bullfighter
His eyes are screamin' blue, his hair is red as blood
And when the gate goes up, the crowd gets so excited
Then he comes dancin' out
Dressed in gold lame
He kills the bull and lives another day

One day a visitor made a trip through my town
We all were dancin' till he took the beat away
Come to think of it, he thought of every last detail
Slipped out late at night
Completely out of sight
Left his message etched inside my brain
Me and my old Corvette, we were flying through the night
Chasin' my blonde lover down Skyline
I saw the tail lights flash to avoid the crash
It was way too late
When she hit the brakes
And she went spinnin' with that screeching sound
And when the gates are closed to the road of plenty
A fist comes poundin' down - you feel it every day
And you can't recognize if you are full or empty
Here it comes again
You count on your old friend
But now they're not so easily found.
Up in the gold hotel, the money hits the table
The heavies are all there, that's why the deals going down
With beautiful women all dressed in diamonds and sable
Down upon the street
Beside a garbage heap
A mariachi band began to play
In Eldorado town there's an old bullfighter
His eyes are screamin' blue, his hair is red as blood
And when the gates goes up, the crowd gets so excited
And he comes dancin' out
Dressed in gold lame
He kills the bull and lives another day.
