Queen Of Cities Lyrics - Elton John

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

El Dorado, (queen of cities) El Dorado
