Montezuma lyrics

So now I am older than my mother and father

When they had their daughter

Now, what does that say about me?

Oh, how could I dream of such a selfless and true love?

Could I wash my hands of

Just looking out for me?

[Refrain]

Oh man, what I used to be

Oh man, oh my, oh me

Oh man, what I used to be

Oh man, oh my, oh me

In dearth or in excess

Both the slave and the empress

Will return to the dirt, I guess,

Naked as when they came

I wonder if I'll see

Any faces above me

Or just cracks in the ceiling

Nobody else to blame

[Refrain]

Gold teeth and gold jewelry

Every piece of your dowry

Throw them into the tomb with me

Bury them with my name

Unless I have someday

Ran my wandering mind away

Oh man, what I used to be

Montezuma to Tripoli

Oh man, oh my, oh me
