Goombay Dance Band - Montezuma (1981)
Am Em
Mercury ice, high in the desert,
Am Em
Dust in the air, the compound is dry.
Dm Am
Pin's so hot, the touch of foam.
Dm Am
Feel a flash, in the vein just on.
Am Em
How many days can it last until it's over?
Am Em
How many tricks can you play before you track
Am
In a no man's land?
Chorus:
C G
Is it wrong or is it right?
Dm Am
Everyday the endless fight.
C G Am
Sun relieve for us tonight, Montezuma.
C G
Make it clear so we can tell
Dm Am
When you cast your magic spell:
C G Am
Your revenge is our as well, Montezuma.
Look to the sky, up for the stars that show.
Feel in the doves a magic surprise.
Bright the wind dyes the raise.
Pray for peace, in a world of change.
How many days can it last until it's over?
How many miles of hope can you cry for a new mirage?
Chorus (bis)
