Where Is My Mind?
Ooooooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there’s nothing in it
And you’ll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin’?
I was swimmin’ in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me I should ask myself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin’?
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there’s nothing in it
And you’ll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Ooooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooooh
Ooooh

from The Pixies’ first full-length album, Surfer Rosa, originally titled Gigantic, but later changed to avoid misinterpretation of the album cover. The album was recorded by Steve Albini and was released in early 1988. Steve Albini later became notable for recording Nirvana’s In Utero at the request of Kurt Cobain, who had cited Surfer Rosa as one of his main musical influnces. Surfer Rosa gained the Pixies acclaim throughout the musical world. Artists and groups such as David Bowie (who later covered the song Cactus in his album, Heathen), Radiohead, U2, Nirvana and many others attest to the immense importance and appreciation of the album by rock musicians.
“Where Is My Mind?” is used in the movie “The Weather Man”, and at the end of “Fight Club”
PunkNews wrote, “Opening a more somber vein is the damn-near-anthem masterpiece, ‘Where Is My Mind?,’ possessing haunting background vocals which carry the song through its central melody and a perfect orchestration among the members.”
