about

We all contain multitudes. The smoker and the jogger may be contained within the same body. This song is about playing with that supposed duality of kingliness and foolishness and practicing acceptance of both.

lyrics

I may be clever witted,
But that don’t mean I’m not stupid
I may be smooth
But that don’t mean I don’t need cupid
I may be a lion
but I cuddle like a lamb
I pretend when no one’s looking
That I don’t give a damn

Chorus:
I’m a fool
I’m a King
Damn king Fool…

I may be strong
But that don’t mean I won’t fumble
I may act straight
But that don’t mean I won’t stumble
I may be simple minded
but I pounce like a cat
and you can call me an arrogant bastard just for thinking that

I’m hunting for reason
But I get lost in the storm
I’m just like everyone else
But I refuse to conform
I’d like to think that women should be obscene
But not hurt
‘Cause I’m a sensitive guy
But I’ve got the horn
