lyrics

so i’m cajun
but i’m not
i don’t hear no bells
i only mean what is well
but a face like hell
and it gets me to nowhere
it leaves for the gold in the waves
so i’m french
but i’m not
but i can still stand the stench
of peeking around the block
for the quarters are locks
and it gets me to notice
the leaving is getting me by
are you my queen
if i’m a king around these parts
there is none but sugarcane
inside my golden heart
i been so far away for far too long
it’s been so far ahead
and i won’t stand strong
cuz i’m a king
and i’ll arise into fame
but no one will notice this
cuz they never wanna sing
instead they go
but they make sure you know
that it is not living underground
it’s only just the little sounds
(and no one knows)
so down to new orleans
i have found
that the cloud is not my singing sound
and it only wants to go with me
if i’m not feeling proud
but our leaves were always in the mounds
and i’m not ever filled to shout
oh no, and I can't even go
i said oh no, i can't even go
are you my queen
if i’m a king around these parts
there is none but sugarcane
inside my golden heart
i came from the pines of north caroline
and yes there was much trying
but there was no sense in crying
cuz i’m a king
and i'll rise into fame
and everyone will notice me
but they never wanna sing
instead they go
but they make sure i know
that it takes more to notice bliss
it’s never fit inside my fists
