Q&A
Northfield, MN Lyrics
you took the baby to your mother's end of June
& kissed her for the last time
on the bed in your old room
then up to Northfield in the Fairmont just you two
you always drove the getaway
so you wouldn't have to shoot
& after a couple jobs like clockwork
where not one of you had slipped
you were on your way back to Wisconsin
hit a deer & flipped
came to on the pavement
bleeding hard from the crash
calling to no one
he was as gone as the cash
but there was the Ford flipped under an overpass
the baby seat strapped in the back
the windshield smashed & red streaked
as an exploded dye pack
& so you crawled in & you closed the door
& laid on what was now the floor
& swore that you would figure out the rest
when it was morning
& kissed her for the last time
on the bed in your old room
then up to Northfield in the Fairmont just you two
you always drove the getaway
so you wouldn't have to shoot
& after a couple jobs like clockwork
where not one of you had slipped
you were on your way back to Wisconsin
hit a deer & flipped
bleeding hard from the crash
calling to no one
he was as gone as the cash
but there was the Ford flipped under an overpass
the baby seat strapped in the back
the windshield smashed & red streaked
as an exploded dye pack
& so you crawled in & you closed the door
& laid on what was now the floor
& swore that you would figure out the rest
when it was morning

My interpretation is that the story is wrapped around a household incident where a guy burned popcorn. The fumes lingered in the home so long, that Sally Cinnamon lost control of her rational self and decided to leave the guy immediately, bringing the baby, known as Tim, with.
One simply cannot drive safely while raging over a bad case of Arson Redenbacher. The male subject, Sparks McSpanks, simply pressed the popcorn button on the microwave, despite clear instructions on the bag to stand by, listen, and remove when the popping stopped. This kind of tomfoolery is why Orville died far too soon.
