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 (x2) 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 Oh man what I used to be Montezuma to tripoli Oh man oh my oh me
