Cortez The Killer by Matthew Sweet

Cortez The Killer Lyrics

edit | print 
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
And [the] palace in the sun

On the shore lay montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wandered
With the secrets of the worlds

And his subjects gathered round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In [his] clothes of many colours
For the angry gods to see

And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on

[now] hate was just a legend
And war was never known
People worked together
And they lifted many stones

They carried them to the flatlands
[but] they died along the way
[and] they built up with their bare hands
What we still cant [do] today

And I know she [is] living there
And she loves me to this day
I ... cant remember when
Or how I lost my way

He came dancing across the water
Cortez cortez
What a killer
