queen of cities
Music by Elton John Lyrics by Tim Rice From the soundtrack "The Road To El Dorado" El Dorado, queen of cities Paradise so wisely hid Overshadows Barcelona Aragon, Castle, Madrid Where on Earth can match your riches Match your people fine and free Why return to old world values This is how the Earth should be El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado El Dorado, queen of cities Overflowing with excess Every turn exotic, lavish Prescious wonders numberless Lead me now into temptation Surely you would not deny One who's come so far to find you All your blessings save goodbye El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado El Dorado, (she could be the death of me) El Dorado, El Dorado, El Dorado El Dorado, golden prison Sheer perfection, sheer despair How can one who knows such splendour Feel the answer lies elsewhere All I know is I must leave her Or she'll be the death of me Put my trust in poorer places Let the queen of cities be El Dorado, (must leave her) El Dorado (queen of cities) El Dorado, (sheer perfection) El Dorado El Dorado, (or she'll be the death of me) El Dorado El Dorado, (queen of cities) El Dorado (Must leave her) El Dorado, (queen of cities) El Dorado, (sheer perfection) El Dorado El Dorado, (or she'll be the death of me) El Dorado.
