This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
In the twinkling of an eye, my sentence gets passed
And I drop to the ground and I go slithering through the grass
Carving out battle lines as I crawl
Find a hollow branch to rest in, slip inside
Wait for mice to poke their heads in, jaw hinged open wide
Hang by my tail, listening for the call
Cos someday, someday the call will sound
We all, we all are gonna get up from the ground
Feel the wet leaves pressed against me, cling like drowning men
Try to hoist myself up right, try again,
Hold on to the memories all night
And where my legs and arms once sprouted, skin is smooth and slick
Rub the smooth spots on some rough rocks, I feel cold and sick
Hold on to the battle plan, hold tight
Cos someday, someday, the call will sound
We all, we all are gonna get up from the ground.
And I drop to the ground and I go slithering through the grass
Carving out battle lines as I crawl
Find a hollow branch to rest in, slip inside
Wait for mice to poke their heads in, jaw hinged open wide
Hang by my tail, listening for the call
Cos someday, someday the call will sound
We all, we all are gonna get up from the ground
Feel the wet leaves pressed against me, cling like drowning men
Try to hoist myself up right, try again,
Hold on to the memories all night
And where my legs and arms once sprouted, skin is smooth and slick
Rub the smooth spots on some rough rocks, I feel cold and sick
Hold on to the battle plan, hold tight
Cos someday, someday, the call will sound
We all, we all are gonna get up from the ground.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

American Town

At a guess, I'd say it has to be told from the perspective of the Serpent who tempted Eve with the apple in the Garden of Eden, his reaction to the punishment he receives for his crimes.
