Lyric discussion by lactosefreeman 

Incest is a common theme in early Pixies stuff and this song is probably influenced by "Odeipus". Both the motorcycle rider and Opedipus discover they are products and participants of incest.

The lyrics are pretty clear; the rider realizes that he has been damned since birth and his whole life is a joke. The "Ha-ha Ha-ha" at the end of the song isn't a happy laugh, but an insane and disturbing one.

Sad stuff. : - (

Good song though. The Holiday Song is the sequal to it, I guess.

@lactosefreeman No, not influenced by Oedipus, but by Nimrod, the great grandson of Noah, who’s wife diefied him after his death and claimed he was reincarnated as Nimrod (or Gilgamesh), their offspring, technically making marrying him to his own mother......like the rest of the bible, it’s always good for a chuckle.

@lactosefreeman I get paid over 190$ per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I've been doing.. :) AND GOOD LUCK.:) HERE====)> hmjobz.com
