Are we sure about the "honey" line? If so, I guess I don't understand the metaphor. How would that happen even once, let alone thrice?! Who would someone try to draw a map with honey? Can someone explain? At first I heard "money" but that doesn't make sense to me either. |

It's about a werewolf. The man is in love with a woman, but knows that the wolf will kill her. He cannot resist her so he visits perhaps a gypsy or voodoo practitioner to cure the curse who gives the advice "bury deep in the hot hot sand..." |

I agree with Captain Famous. Also, its "Your stables will burn, And your harvest will crumble, Your fields will lay fallow for years"
This album is about mental illness, superstition, death, savagery, hardship and other such rottenness that one faced in the old west. |

I love this song, but I must admit that I have trouble interpreting the metaphor. |

The great thing about good lyrics is that they can mean vastly different things to different people. I would have never drawn the same conclusion as gueveralives, but there is no wrong answer.
I saw Bill Calahan a week or so after my grandfather's funeral. I wished I would have choose this song to play there. My grandfather owned race horses and was also a tough-as-nails paternal figure. I love the line "the all knowing all seeing eye is dog tired and just wants to see the colts". Also, the metaphor of the future is very powerful in the context of death. |

For some reason most metal covers of punk songs miss the point completely, but this one is perfect. I think its because they pretty much left it alone (except for the extended guitar solo).
I wonder why these lyrics aren't also listed under Poison Idea. |

| Animal Collective – For Reverend Green Lyrics

I just read that in the original UK version of the classic board game Cluedo, "Mr. Green" as he is known in the American version is "Reverend Green".
More than likely, the song is a reference to Rev. Al Green or nothing at all. In response to sean1058, I'd like to think that AC is above making a goofy pot reference. |
