[Intro]
(Shit)
(Who are you?)
(Go home)
(The next song, please)
Yeah
Oh, um, we're from Louisville, oh—alright this is our last song
We're from Louisville and we thought you needed to hear this

[Verse 1]
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun

On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and his pearls
In his halls he often wondered
'Bout the secrets of the world

And his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
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
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 2]
Hate was just a legend
They didn't know what war was
But they knew how to work together
And they lifted many stones

And they carried them to the flatlands
But they died along the way
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

Came dancin' across the water
Cortez
What a killer
He came dancin' across the water

[Outro]
Let's have a big hand for Slint
Not Flint, but Slint
But if you call them that, it's okay (Oh, shit)
Stick around for the Clams from Minneapolis
And drink a lot, too (Yeah)
Not that's wrong, anyway (Yeah) (Oh, my God)
