 The jailbird takes a rap And then finds himself spread-eagled on the track But the training that he learned would get him nowhere fast And I know we should be free But freedom's just a prison to me (Rain pounding on his back, he recalls the moment that he cracked) 'Cause I lied to keep it kind (Long ago in the museum with his friends) When I left you far behind (Like those memories, the rain, just keeps poundin' down, down, down) And though these wings have turned to stone I can fly, fly, fly away Watch me fly above the city like a shadow on the sky Fly, fly, fly Fly, fly, fly Fly, fly, fly

I want to live and make the best of what I see Where the sun hits the water and the mountains meet the sand There's a beach that I walk along sometimes And maybe there I'll meet her and we'll start to say hello And never stop to think of any other time

Let me see your face again before I have to go I have seen you in the movies and in those magazines at night I saw you on the barstool when you held that glass so tight And I saw you in my nightmares, but I'll see you in my dreams And I might live a thousand years before I know what that means |

He came dancing across the water

Looking for the new world
Am7*
In that 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 worlds And his subjects gathered round him Like the leaves around a tree In their clothes of many colours 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 The people worked together And they lifted many stones They carried them to the flatlands And they died along the way But 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
