"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." Most of the song alternates between a 74 and an 84 time signature, which alternatively may be notated as 154.more »
