Bilingual
So now I am older
Than my mother and father
When they had their daughter
Now what does that say about me
Oh, how could I dream of
Such a selfless and true love?
Could I wash my hands off?
Just lookin' out for me
Oh, man what I used to be
Oh, man oh my oh me
Oh, man what I used to be
Oh, man oh my oh me
ย
In dearth or in excess
Both the slave and the empress
Will return to the dirt I guess
Naked as when they came
ย
I wonder if I'll see
Any faces above me
Or just cracks in the ceiling
Nobody else to blame
Oh, man what I used to be
Oh, man, oh my, oh me
ย
Oh, man what I used to be
Oh, man, oh my, oh me
ย
Gold teeth and gold jewelry
Every piece of your dowry
Throw them into the tomb with me
Bury them with my name
Unless I have someday
Ran my wandering
In my underway
ย
Oh, man what I used to be
Montezuma to Tripoli
Oh, man oh my oh me
