One of my favorite Breeders songs. I think it's about drug use, in general. Like with the first few lines, I remember using Bible pages to smoke weed in a bind. Then I think it sort of verges into heroin use, or something being injected. "You say you gotta burn to shine" is especially impactful, kind of suggesting that some people may feel like you need to use drugs to be "real" or recognized, especially in the music industry, or when induced into any kind of fame.
