The Levee

from Kingprince by Cassino

/

lyrics

Leroy crow blew overboard, far away from American buoys.
Into alligators and two by fours…and it made a splash that I will always remember.
The hills collapsed into the floor… scared of the sky as it rattles the doors.
They left in horror, and with the lord,
and made a wake that I will always remember.

Many have melted here…
Into a mound of years…
Floating on a loan…
Where the wind don’t blow.
And if you’ve come to blossom here
In the boiling air…
Ill tell you that the levee’s breaking here.

Who could know that the kings own home
was built to float on American bones?
The wood is rotten but the shade is strong…
Leroy Crow is scattered and soaked.
The water turns to lead as it crosses the coast…
Filling his pockets, invading his throat…
He sang a song that ill always remember.
