von Dave Matthews Band

Cortez the Killer Songtext

Yeah on this, I want to have a friend of ours
Come and join us here
Now we′ve been meeting him in New York City for a long time
Very good friend of ours gonna get up on stage with us
For a couple of tunes, Mr. Warren Hayes

He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the New World
In that palace in the sun

On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
With the secrets of the world

Oh and his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
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

Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones

They carried them to the flatlands
And they died along the way
But they built up with their bare hands
What we still can′t build today

And I know she's living there
She loves me to this day
I can still remember when
Or how I lost my way

Cortez, Cortez

Came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez

Came dancing across the water

Came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
Dancing across the water


Dancing across the water
Dancing across the water
Dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez

Dancing across the water

Dancing across the water

Dancing across
What a killer
Dancing across the water

Warren Hayes
