Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 of
Just lookin' out for me
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
In dearth or in excess
Both the slave and the empress
Will return to the dirt, I guess
Naked as when they came
[Verse 4]
I wonder if I'll see
Any faces above me?
Or just cracks in the ceiling
Nobody else to blame
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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 some day
Ran my wandering mind away
[Verse 7]
Oh
Oh, man, what I used to be
Montezuma to Tripoli
Oh, man, oh my, oh me
