Cover art for Caribou lyrics by Pixies

Yay Pixies are back again! I thought Kim Deal wrote Caribou, but that seems in question. The first lines are simple enough for Kims earth mama pleading vocals to grasp, but the later "knife" references are probably where, Black - as previously noted - often ad-libs lyrices into the tune, where he "intuits" a phrase - seems out of place. Unless ... suicide is the means to obtain that "transmigration of Soul" into the wide roaming, teeming free thundering herds of Caribou. Dirt. I will get what I want. Otherwise its a simple yearning for me, to escape this street. I live cement.

BTW "Teen Spirit" was supposedly modeled after "Gouge Away"!
