this song was written when the singer took a trip to the Carribean and got stoned out of his mind with some natives of the area.

Hm... I have no idea what Black Francis was thinking when he wrote this, but it's the Pixies' best. Seems like anyone who hears it is infatuated with it...

Imagine a life where you don't have to really think. Just go tripping through life. This is a song about such an idea.
