I live cement
I hate this street
Give dirt to me
I bite lament
This human form
Where i was born
I now repent

Caribou
Repent
Repent

Give me wide
Ground to run
And foregone
Lets me knife
Knife me lets
I will get
What i like

Caribou
Repent
Repent

    General CommentI’ve no idea what the song “means” as it were, I know better than to try and ascribe deeper meaning to Pixies lyrics which are often (but not always) meaningless...

    I did want to say that this is a SUPER fun song to sing along with... right up there with “I bleed”, “Motorway to Roswell” and of course “Where is my mind?”.
