[Verse 1]
One day, a visitor took a trip through my town
We all were dancing 'til he took the beat away
Come to think of it, he thought of every last detail
Slipped out late one night
Completely out of sight
Left his message etched into my brain
[Verse 2]
And now the gates are closed on the road of plenty
That fist comes pounding down, you feel it every day
It's hard to really know if you are full or empty
Here it comes again
You think of your old friends
But now they're not so easily found
[Verse 3]
Me and my old Corvette, we were flying through the night
Chasing my blonde lover down Skyline
She saw that buck and then her taillights flashed to avoid the crash
It was way too late
When I hit the brakes
And we went screaming with a screeching sound
[Verse 4]
I was talking to my friend, telling him I lucked out
He smiled at me and said, "I'm glad you feel that way"
And when I wrote that down on a piece of paper
Beneath a garbage heap
Down upon the street
A mariachi band began to play
[Verse 5]
In El Dorado 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
Then he comes dancing out
Dressed in gold lamé
He kills the bull and lives another day
