Montezuma |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
