Huffer Lyrics
Na na na na na na
Ta ah ah ah ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Da da da, da da da
Da da, da da da
Toil toil toil til I get sick
I try reverse, but I'm not that quick
Chained to the ground
No flyin', for you
If you want it bad
You gotta steal your own fuel
Torn (up)
Toiled and troubled
Da da da da da da
Da da da ah ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Da da da da da da da da
Da-ah
Da da da!
Toil toil toil
Till I get sick
I try reverse but I'm
Not that quick
Chained to the ground
No flyin' for you
If you want it bad
You gotta steal your own fuel
Torn
Toiled and troubled
Ta ah ah ah ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Da da da, da da da
Da da, da da da
I try reverse, but I'm not that quick
Chained to the ground
No flyin', for you
If you want it bad
You gotta steal your own fuel
Torn (up)
Toiled and troubled
Da da da ah ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Da da da da da da da da
Da-ah
Da da da!
Toil toil toil
Till I get sick
I try reverse but I'm
Not that quick
Chained to the ground
No flyin' for you
If you want it bad
You gotta steal your own fuel
Torn
Toiled and troubled

^ i had never noticed that! i had realized she quickly says "fuck" at the end of a line, but never realized it was because she had messed up the lyric. i love that they keep mistakes like this in the final edit :). they do it in other songs, too.
It doesn't make any sense for it to be "crying". Consider the lyrics before and after that line.
And Kim Deal is a she, not a he.
kim says crying the second time and says 'fuck' really fast cos she messed up.
I think that he says crying instead of flying....
This album is awesome, sums up my mood many times when I'm depressed.
I think its about wanting to be in a relationship but being afraid to do so because things in the past turned out badly. "Toil toil toil til I get sick" is that she wants to and tries to but but then backs out. (I try reverse but I'm not that quick) So, just go for it! (if you want it bad you gotta steal your own fuel) and don't worry about it. Also, just try to sing that song, it's really hard!
@thorneyT From my point of view this is a more literal complaining about working HARD, the physical toll of it. No ties with sentimental relationships here, but just the toils of her life (constant touring, recording, whatsoever).

Kim left the Pixies when "went from just all fun to work" [1], so it makes sense to me that Kim ended up writing such a song (though not talking about her Pixies time of course!).

I think she's just exhausted from her life style, she wants it bad though, so she must steal the fuel from her body!
