![]() Death to the Pixies (1988) [ larger cover art ] |
Ooh, stop
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse, and there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
(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 hidin' behind the rock
Except the little fish bumped into me
I swear he was trying to talk to me coy koi
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
(Where is my mind?)
(Where is my mind?)
(Where is my mind?)
Way out in the water, see it swimmin'
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head'll collapse, and there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
(Where is my mind?)
(Where is my mind?)
(Where is my mind?)
Way out in the water, see it swimmin'
Ooh
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Ooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh

| rotten | Posted: Mar 19, 2013 - 14:50 Please Please Please Please play more Pixies |
| ottovonb | Posted: Mar 19, 2013 - 14:50 Percussion, base, vocals, guitars: All weird, ferocious, and beautiful. |
| ncollingridge | Posted: Mar 17, 2013 - 04:23 I can understand why some might like this song, but personally I find it too annoying. And I can see that to some that is the point of it. |
| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: Mar 12, 2013 - 11:01 It's my theme song, and I love it.......Yeahhhhhhhh |
| howardzb (Toronto) | Posted: Feb 13, 2013 - 19:19 Please Please Please Please never play this song again |
| sajitjacob (Christchurch NZ) | Posted: Jan 28, 2013 - 17:51 Where is my mind? A question I often ask myself. Answered with a shrug. less than satisfying. Results in coffee and staring out of the window for a bit.....I'm rambling |

| vanmas (Leiden, Netherlands) | Posted: Sep 12, 2012 - 06:37 Please stop this alarm guitar noise... |
| Hans_Heintz | Posted: Sep 05, 2012 - 02:38 Nice that it's from a compilation cd also but this of course is primordial pixies "surfer rosa" stuff, the only pixies for me. |
| jbunniii (San Jose, CA) | Posted: Aug 24, 2012 - 16:11 Yeah |
| zair99 (In Cognito) | Posted: Aug 24, 2012 - 16:11 First The Shins - New Slang, now this! Two 10s in a row! This is making it very hard to go get groceries. |
| BCarn (Victoria, B.C.) | Posted: Aug 24, 2012 - 16:10 Another underrated band. The key is to see them live. |
| dgopark | Posted: Aug 15, 2012 - 06:37 my go-to alarm for pre-dawn workouts. never fails me. |

| Flipmode (Spartanburg, SC) | Posted: Jul 24, 2012 - 06:15 One of my favorite songs. Of all time. |
| Bobert_ParkCity (Park City Utah) | Posted: Jun 09, 2012 - 15:58 Hmm - Bill seems to be on a bit of an introspective trip. Perhaps some other kind, also? |
| Swan_Jack (Paris (France)) | Posted: Jun 07, 2012 - 04:17 simple ! simple ! simple ! but so efficient. |
| Bobert_ParkCity (Park City Utah) | Posted: May 30, 2012 - 08:51 Cool cool cool and any song that references St Marks and Second Ave is a ten for me ! "With my feet in the air and my head on the ground" - I bet they were not doing yoga. |

I guess it partially depends on one's definition of "alternative rock"; there were bands such as The Smiths, R.E.M., Sonic Youth, etc. I don't think this is even The Pixies' quintessential track, but opinions obviously vary. |

| Foot (NorCal / Wine) | Posted: Dec 26, 2011 - 18:25 Thankfully, just completed a tour where their last stop was Napa Valley @ the Uptown. Nov 20 - what a show, and this track was easily one of the highlights. |
