I'm taking you down
To the placement field.
And when I find you
Underneath the grass, I know you
Feel this way, you feel this way.

Because I know you,
And I feel you,
And I'll feed you rice pudding
At the benefit concert.

Yeah baby, I'll feed you rice pudding.
At the concert.

Rock-n-roll, sugar cane.

    General Comment:Here are the exact lyrics for this song, transcribed from Sufjan's handwriting in the first pressing of the album. The lyrics are originally written without line breaks.

    Rice Pudding: I'm taking you down to the placement field. And when I find you underneath the grass I'll know you feel this way, feel this way. Because I know you, and I feel you, and I'll feed you rice pudding at the benefit concert. Yeah baby, I'll feed you rice pudding at the concert. rock-n-roll, sugar cane.

    General Comment:It sounds like he's writing a love song from the viewpoint of a really, really strung-out rock star.

    General Comment:I don't know why, but I love this song. I love it when the chaotic guitar playing gives way to the relative order of the song and I love how he sings the last line of the song. I imagine this song to be about someone who has just met the love of his life at a benefit concert, and the guitar represents the thoughts of that man as he rehashes the day.

    Then again, it could just be a weird, silly song.
