Palaces Of Montezuma Lyrics - Grinderman 2 - Grinderman

Psychedelic invocations 

Of Mata at the station 

I give to you 

A Java princess of Hindu birth 

A woman of flesh a child of earth 

I give to you 

The hanging gardens of Babylon 

Miles Davis the black unicorn 

I give to you 

The Palaces on Montezuma 

And the Gardens of Akbar's Tomb 

I give to you 

The Spider Goddess and Needle Boy 

The slave-dwarves that they employ 

I give to you 

A custard-coloured super-dream 

Of Ali McGraw and Steve McQueen 

I give to you 

Oh c'mon baby, let's get out of the cold 

And give me your precious love to hold 

The Epic of Gilgamesh 

A pretty little black A-line dress 

I give to you 

The spinal cord of JFK 

Wrapped in Marilyn Monroe's negligee 

I give to you 

I want nothing in return 

Just the softest little breathless word 

I ask of you 

A word contained in a grain of sand 

That can barely walk can't even stand 

I ask of you 

Oh c'mon baby, let's get out of the cold 

And gimme your precious love to hold
