this song reminds me of eraserhead, which was a big influence on black francis and myself. henry, the main character, has an unseen cry for help because he is in his own hell. he seeks refuge in the lady in the radiator, the necrophiliac next door (elevator lady), and the hope that someday he'll descend into heaven. "He kicked a baby" may refer to the part where henry kills his baby.
this is just an idea and if you saw the movie you'll know what i'm talking about.
ps get eraserhead, it's the best movie ever
and get the pixies dvd, this is on it
