lyrics

Je chante en français 
Italian last name
Eyes like the king of old Siam

Broken in half
A colonial raft, splinters and laughs
Like my Japanese friend who fronts a country band

I feel washed out
Punched in the mouth, private school playgrounds
White knuckled, blue-eyed barbarians

I know that southern stare
Not just back home but everywhere

Forget me not
Strolling round Angkor Wat,
Ruins saved and cleaned by gloved French hands

Sweet Twinkie, confused
Old missionary blues
Kung fu barbie, yellow fever tan

Confederate flags, jasmine ice tea
The Golden Buffet in downtown Pulaski
Sashimi plate, magnolia leaves
At old Dragon Park, sit and watch ‘em do Tai Chi

Je connais ce regard qui tue
Non seulement dans le sud mais partout

Je chante en français 
Un nom italien
Les yeux comme le roi du Siam
