Could I wash my hands of just looking 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 In dearth or in excess Both the slave and the empress Will return to the dirt, I guess Naked as when they came 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 Oh, man, that I used to be Oh, man, oh my, oh me 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 mind away Oh, man, what I used to be Montezuma to Tripoli Oh, man, oh my, oh me
