Matthew Sweet Lyrics

"Cortez The Killer" lyrics


He came dancing across the waterWith his galleons and gunsLooking for the new worldAnd [the] palace in the sun
On the shore lay montezumaWith his coca leaves and pearlsIn his halls he often wanderedWith the secrets of the worlds
And his subjects gathered 'round himLike the leaves around a treeIn [his] clothes of many coloursFor the angry gods to see
And the women all were beautifulAnd the men stood straight and strongThey offered life in sacrificeSo that others could go on

[now] hate was just a legendAnd war was never knownPeople worked togetherAnd they lifted many stones
They carried them to the flatlands[but] they died along the way[and] they built up with their bare handsWhat we still can't [do] today
And I know she [is] living thereAnd she loves me to this dayI ... can't remember whenOr how I lost my way
He came dancing across the waterCortez cortezWhat a killer
