One day a visitor took a trip through my town. We all were dancin' till he took his 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.. And when the gates are closed on The Road of Plenty. The fist comes poundin' down you feel it everyday. It's hard to really know if you are full or empty. Here it comes again. You think I'm your old friend. But now we're not so easily found.. Me and my old Corvette we were flying through the night. Chasin' my blonde lover down skyline. She saw the tail lights flash to avoid the crash. It was way too late. When I hit the brakes. And we went spinnin' with a screeching sound.. I was talkin' to my friend tellin' 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.. Up in the gold hotel the money hits the table. The heavies are all there that's why the deal goes 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 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 lami. He kills the bull and lives another day.. .
