From a recorded live performance with Houston Public Media, Nick Thorburn revealed that Pumpkin was an “abstract” song that explored the theme of economic disparity and impact of neo-liberalism after returning to the U.S. from a trip to Malawi.
Pumpkin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hold out your hand
And take what you can
If you've got a feeling that this feeling might fade away
All you have to do is lay this love to waste
[Bridge]
Do what I say, do what I say, do what I say
Oh, I can change
Oh, I can change
Oh, I can change your ways
[Verse 2]
It feels like it was planned
And there's something sinister
The man with the head in the sand
But you really shouldn't make such assumptions, pumpkin
[Outro]
So hold out your hand
And take what you can
