Shack in the Cornfields

Lyrics

No small spirit, so gone, so brown With ashen tongues to clean the dirt Take this sad road full of me. Hate me I'm no innocent, sweet Carona Come on, let's go Straw-colored sea The cornfield swallowed the children up Never to be seen again About three fields back Blue shell casings and a groundhog skull A chipboard shack sits by the woods I wonder who lives there. Maybe he's dead Or maybe he's just watching us from the edge of the woods A soft wind wound up And the rattlin' of the dead leaves swelled to hiss There's gotta be a hole in this Row upon row... The mothers went mad And had the shack-man hung till dead He didn't do nothing except for being alone There's gotta be a hole in this Row upon row... When the rain beats down the last stalk And the first snow melts from last year's crop Will they find the kids when the springtime comes And realize they just got lost? Way back yonder where the corn was tall Torn up dirty magazines scattered around Covered in dirt and rain
