Last night he could not make it
He tried hard but could not make it
Last night he could not make it
On a holiday, for many miles
Looking for a place to stay
Near some friendly star, he found this mote
And now we wonder where we are
How could this so great turn so shitty
He ended up in army crates
And photographs in files, his tiny boat
Sparked as he turned to grazed our city
I started driving on the motorway
I was feeling down
Last night he could not make it
Last night he could not make it
He tried hard but could not make it
Last night he could not make it
On a holiday, for many miles
Looking for a place to stay
Near some friendly star, he found this mote
And now we wonder
How could this so great turn so shitty
Ended up in army crates
And photographs in files, his tiny boat
Sparked as he grazed it
Last night he could not make it
He tried hard but could not make it
Last night he could not make it
He tried hard but could not make it
He started heading for the motorway and he came right now
He started heading for the motorway and he came right now
He started heading for the motorway and he came right now

no comments! that's insane! one of pixies best songs, and the best way they could have left their final album. this song is so good, especially the piano bit at the end...haunting. anyways, that's what i think
@xpankfrisst I absolutely love this album and think it didn't get fair play. You totally nailed it. This Is on repeat for a few rounds.....
