Trompe Le Monde

Pixies · Minotaur [2009]

why do cupids and angels

continually haunt her dreams like memories

of another life

is painted on her shirt in capitals

out on the free free way

there's only she and the they represented by the lights



we went to the store

and bought something great

which samples this song

from washington state



go, little record go

it is named by some guy named joe

and the words are the

letters of the words

said electrically played

for outer space and those of they who paid



this song is twice ocurred and now it's time to go away on holiday
