Trompe Le Monde
Pixies · Minotaur [2009]
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
