Goombay Dance Band - Montezuma (1981)
MAmercury ice, high in the dEmesert,
DAmust in the air, the cEmompound is dry.
PDmin's so hot, the touch of fAmoam.
FDmeel a flash, in the vein just Amon.
HAmow many days can it last until it's Emover?
HAmow many tricks can you play before you trEmack 
In a no man's Amland?
Chorus:
Is it wrCong or is it rGight?
EverydDmay the endless fAmight.
Sun relCieve for us tonGight, MontezAmuma.
Make it clCear so we can tGell
When you cDmast your magic spAmell:
Your revCenge is our as wGell, MontezAmuma.
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)

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

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)
