Speed leaving without warning
I need some place to sleep tonight
Blowing in the rocking of the pine
Speed leaving without warning
The sunlight is going into the mountain
I will crawl into the mountain
Sun shines in the rusty morning
Skyline of the Olympus Mons
I think about it sometimes
Sun shines in the rusty morning
Once I had a good fly
Into the mountain
I will fall
I need some place to sleep tonight
Blowing in the rocking of the pine
Speed leaving without warning
The sunlight is going into the mountain
I will crawl into the mountain
Sun shines in the rusty morning
Skyline of the Olympus Mons
I think about it sometimes
Sun shines in the rusty morning
Once I had a good fly
Into the mountain
I will fall

I've heard one of the recordings where he says explicitely it's about a bird dreaming about Olympus Mons. But... kshe95's interpretation is incredible. If this song isn't about that, it SHOULD be.
Also, this is, bar none, my favorite song by the Pixies. It's like my eyes glaze over and I'm in another dimension when I listen to this, absolutely incredible.
with songs like this, roswell and planet sound, i don't understand why this is looked back as one of their worst. its one of my favorite pixies albums.
I remember the bootleg "Situation Red", one of the few live recordings by the Pixies available in the nineties from the "Trompe le Monde" era. The introduction to this song has the explanation you mentioned. Maybe that's the recording.
@Debaser85 Because the bird is the human?
@Debaser85 <br /> I agree with your summation - this song IS majestic
