This title is a cover of Possum Kingdom as made famous by The Toadies
Possum Kingdom Lyrics: Make up your mind / Decide to walk with me / Around the lake tonight / Around the lake tonight / By my side / By my side / I'm not gonna lie / I'll not be a gentleman. Possum Kingdom is a lake in Texas, near the Dallas/Fort Worth area where the band is from - it even has its own Chamber of Commerce. There are no mentions of possums or kingdoms in the lyrics, but we do hear a creepy story about a spooky walk around a lake. In a 1995 interview with RIP magazine.

'Possum Kingdom' is a song by American alternative rock band Toadies released as the second single from their 1994 album, Rubberneck.
The song's origins lie in folklore from the band's native state of Texas. Possum Kingdom Lake is a lake in North Texas near Fort Worth. In the documentary 'Dark Secrets: The Stories of Rubberneck', Lewis further elaborates that he intended 'Possum Kingdom' to be a continuation of the story told in the song 'I Burn'. While he envisioned 'I Burn' to be a story about cult members immolating themselves in order to ascend to a higher plane, 'Possum Kingdom' was about one of the immolated people becoming 'just smoke, and ..he goes to Possum Kingdom [Lake] and tries to find somebody to join him.' [2]
Most of the song alternates between a 7
4 and an 8
4 time signature, which alternatively may be notated as 15
4.[citation needed]

Music video[edit]
Toadies – Possum Kingdom Lyrics | Genius Lyrics
The music video for 'Possum Kingdom' was directed by Thomas Mignone and begins with a body bag being dragged from a lake, then pans to the lead singer, Vaden Todd Lewis, singing in a dark room. It then pans to a shot of the band performing in a small venue with several dozen dancing fans. The individual who dragged the body bag from the river then opens it and begins violently hacking away at it. The video ends by revealing the individual is actually an ice sculptor that is creating the image of a beautiful woman. A drop of water is seen streaming down her face. Filming was done in Dallas, TX.
