He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
And a 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 world.
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
And they lifted many stones.
And they carried them to the flatlands
But they died along the way
And they built up with their bare hands
What we still can't do today.
And I know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way.
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer.

Gonna leave the pain behind
Gonna leave the fools in line
Gonna take the magic potion
Gettin' in an old black car
Gonna take a ride so far
To the land...
Hey, hey, my, my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture than meets the eye

I count the voices one by one
But I'm not there to share the fun
I'm out on the interstate

And the colors of the falling leaves
I see nature makes no mistake

I can tell by your eyes
That you've probably been crying forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you
They're a mirror
I don't want to...
Long ago in the book of old,
Before the chapter where dreams unfold
Love was a winner there overcoming hate
Like a little girl who couldn't wait.
Love...
I came to you, when I needed a rest
You took my love, and put it to the test
I saw some things, that I never would have guessed
Feel like a railroad, ...
When you dance,
Do your senses tingle?
Then take a chance?
In a trance,
While the lonely mingle
With circumstance?
I've got something to tell you, you...
