this song is full of references, some of which pertain to the creation of the album itself. to answer raine's question, i really think the revolution one line is an allusion to the beatles. and if you look at the liner notes, parts of it were recorded between the papa legba house/giant plum studios and the volvo room, both of which are in malibu.
the line about bonnie brown is debatable maybe. there was a country music singer named bonnie brown who had a career with her older brother and sister between the mid-50s and 60s. the velvet underground also had a song called sweet bonnie brown.
google and wikipedia gave me this: papa legba is also the intermediary between Iwa and humanity, as part of the haitian voodoo practice. i don't really know how all of this intertwines in kenna's lyrics, but take from it what you will.
