Pixies - Nimrod’s Son lyrics

One night upon my motorcycle
Through the desert sped
And smashed my body so that all
My friends thought I was dead
My sister held me close and
Whispered to my bleeding head
"You are the son of a motherfucker"

I shook all night and held her hand
Shocked, repeating "Well I'll be damned"
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's son oh, bury me
Far away, please bury me
Ha ha the joke is come upon me

In my motorcycle mirror
I think about the life I've led
And how my soul's been leaking out
The holes where I had bled
My image spoke to me, yes
To me it often said
"You are the son of incestuous union"

Now my head is clear, my roof has walls
My daughter's pure, my son is tall
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's son
Oh, bury me far away, please bury me
Ha, ha, ha the joke is come upon me
