Neil Young - Inca Queen lyrics

Once there was an Inca Queen

She gazed at her sundial

All around her workers raised

Golden idols to her smile

The waiting years weren't hard to see

Behind the tears of Mercury.

She spoke of silver from the sky

And many floating safety boats

To pick them up when they would fly

Far above their dreams and hopes

And they a mountain city raised

Where their queen above the clouds

Could watch out.

Inca Queen has,

Inca Queen has,

Inca Queen has come

Inca Queen has,

Inca Queen has,

Inca Queen has come.

Out in the jungle

the drums were heard:

Inca Queen has come

From the biggest elephant

to the smallest bird:

Inca Queen has come

She spoke of silver from the sky,

Inca Queen has come

To pick them up when they would fly,

Inca Queen has come.

Once there was an Inca Queen

She gazed at her sundial

All around her workers raised

Golden idols to her smile

And though the air was thin and cold

Soon the day would come

the queen had told.

Inca Queen has,

Inca Queen has,

Inca Queen has come.
