This song is a perfect example of how it doesn't really have to make sense. It's like twisted poetry. The phrases "look at me," "there goes my gun" "friend or foe" and "yoo-hoo" don't really mean anything when you throw them together, but they all have interesting connotations by themselves. Have Frank Black scream the lyrics while Kim Deal provides smooth backing vocals and set the whole thing to the usual Pixies noise and you have a winner. This is the formula for lots of great Pixies songs. This band is/was brilliant.
