Robin Pecknold - Montezuma lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Hook] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Hook] 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 [Verse 3] Gold teeth and gold j**elry 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 [Outro] Oh man what I used to be Montezuma to Tripoli Oh man, oh my, oh me
