Lyrics for Song: Montezuma
Lyrics for Album: Helplessness Blues [2011]
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 lookin' out for me
Oh, man, what I used to be
Oh, man; oh, my; oh, me
Oh, man that 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 that 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 some day
Ran my wandering mind away
Oh, man, what I used to be
Montezuma to Tripoli
Oh, man; oh, my; oh, me
