This is something to gasp about
It's her glamor he's tearing at.
He is filth, he is dirty and she loves it.
Just keep your face down and don't look out
It's not love that you are after now.
You are triumph you are glory, you are the party.

Here is your moment to shine, don't you feel important.
Here is your revolution, start stop dance.

With every beat of the drum she frowns
She makes her way through the grinding crowd.
To finish off what she started in his pocket.

Just keep your face down and don't look out
It's not love that you are after now.
You are triumph you are glory, you are the party.

But I know what you'll say that does not mean a god damn thing to me
But I think this should be the last fucking thing you say to me.

Break away from the crowd to celebrate
Soldiers dance the night away. soldiers dance too.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
