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 hits the table, the heavies all are there
That's why the deal's goin' 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 dancin' out
Dressed in gold lami
He kills the bull and lives another day
