Текст песни Cortez, The Killer - Live - Dave Matthews Band

Yeah, and this I wanna 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, Mister Warren Haynes

He came dancing across the water
His galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
Palace in the sun

On the shore lay Montezuma
His cocoa leaves and pearls
In his halls, he often wandered
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't still remember when
Or how I lost my way

Cortez, Cortez

He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez

Dancing across the water

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

Came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez

Dancing across the water

Dancing across the water

Dancing across
He came dancing across the water

Warren Haynes
