Let's Burn Down The Cornfield Lyrics

I have no idea if there's a deeper meaning here, as there usually is with Newman, but I doubt if there is that he'd hide it. I think it's safe to take this song at face level; it's a delightfully wonky love song sung seemingly by a pyro.

I just love the instrumentation. The bass, guitar, the bubbling percussion all add up to an incredibly dark and almost demonic sound.
