"El Dorado"

(written by Kristin Hersh)

Peace, and a fraction of a dream 

El Dorado 

These eggs look like eyeballs 

And I'm too poor to eat

We're floating on inflatable hope

There's a blue blizzard in our heads

And I'm too sore to sleep

Life and a cup of instant chaos by the window

I'm laughing so hard I'm in tears

I followed your hillbilly guide to El Dorado

I haven't laughed like this in years

I'd like you to stay

I'd like you to stay

I'd like you to stay

I'd like you to stay

Only you can see Eden through the blizzard

Only you spring eternal, censor free

Only you are Minnie Pearl behind the 8 ball

The keeper of my pathetic dream

I'd like you to stay

I'd like you to stay

I'd like you to stay

I'd like you to stay
