The Levee - Cassino

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 collapse into the floor… scared of the skies 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 won’t blow

And if you’ve come to blossom here

In the boiling air…

I’ll tell you that 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 I will always remember
