Hurricane katrina? As good as Black Francis is, he's no prophet.

I think sometimes he sings "wave of new relation". The song is about a new relationship. He's recently left his ex. She thinks he won't cope without her but he finds this new relationship. Mutilation as in the way one changes slightly to accommodate a new partner. In the second verse he's singing about how it's all worked out for him and he's pretty pleased with it all.
