The Pixies

The Pixies are an American alternative rock band that formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1986. The group consists of Black Francis (vocals, guitar), Joey Santiago (guitar), Kim Deal (bass guitar, vocals), and David Lovering (drums). While the Pixies found only modest success in their home country, they were significantly more successful in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe, although never achieving prolonged mainstream success with their studio albums. The group disbanded in 1993 in acrimonious circumstances but reunited in 2004.



Where is My Mind

"Oooough - stop
!!

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it, yeah !!
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind

Where is my mind

Where is my mind
 
Way out in the water

See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Caribbean

Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me, coy koi.

Where is my mind

Where is my mind

Where is my mind


Way out in the water

See it swimmin' ?

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind

Where is my mind

Where is my mind

 
Ooouuu
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooouuu
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooouuu
Ooouuu"
