"Kate Confuses the Audience, Part 44"
 
   Relaxing on my hands and knees
Relaxing on my face
Reclining in the bear trap
Of its tender warm embrace
Glazed with coniferous green
Glazed with excitement and dread
Exhausted from oversleep
Awake but still in bed
The shaving razor's rusty but the sting brings you exactly back to

Maine!
Is the world that went south
Maine!
Is a punch in the mouth
Maine!
At the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart
Maine!
Is the devil you know
Maine!
Is the heaven below
Maine!
At the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart

I love you anyway, I promise there's no other state
But only if you stay away and leave me to my ugly fate*
And give me back my evil heart so I can see you as you aren't
Maine!
Is the world that went south
Maine!
Is a punch in the mouth
Maine!
At the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart
Maine!
Is the poison you love
Maine!
Is the hell from above
Maine!
At the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart

- John Linnell
"Maine"
State Songs (1999)

* On the album, this is "state" again, but Kate has always assumed that was a mistake that got past the producer.

   Yeah, I accept the lyrics as confusing.

Wow. Just... wow. I think actually going out and listening to the song would ruin it.

   It kinda makes sense if you've ever lived there. There's reasons I left...

--
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome
decree,
Where Alph, the sacred river,
ran
Through caverns measureless to
man
Down to a sunless sea

Oh no it wouldn't.

Linnell is half (well, 20 percent, now that they have a Standing Band) of They Might Be Giants, if you didn't know; just to (possibly) give you a flavor of the whimsy involved.
