Cortez the Killer-Neil Young & Crazy Horse

[03:24.45]He came dancing across the water [03:27.55]With his galleons and guns [03:29.60]Looking for the new world [03:36.30]In that palace in the sun [03:40.23]On the shore lay Montezuma [03:44.51]With his coca leaves and pearls [03:48.67]In his halls he often wondered [03:53.06]With the secrets of the worlds. [03:56.90]And his subjects gathered 'round him [04:01.12]Like the leaves around a tree [04:05.41]In their clothes of many colors [04:08.68]For the angry gods to see. [04:13.88]And the women all were beautiful [04:18.07]And the men stood straight and strong [04:22.57]They offered life in sacrifice [04:26.60]So that others could go on. [04:31.00]Hate was just a legend [05:25.61]And war was never known [05:29.55]The people worked together [05:33.65]And they lifted many stones. [05:35.53]They carried them to the flatlands [05:42.01]And they died along the way [05:46.27]But they built up with their bare hands [05:50.46]What we still can't do today. [05:52.83]And I know she's living there [05:59.06]And she loves me to this day [06:03.55]I still can't remember when [06:05.89]Or how I lost my way.. [06:10.46]He came dancing across the water [06:50.86]Cortez,Cortez [06:54.93]What a <-7>killer.
