	i think this song is about escapism.. via drugs. what else could one get their 'head around' and make them feel this way?

No Picture gabby Professional	#2 by gabby at Jan 20, 1990 at 6:30 PM EST
	Pixies is dead, the Mary Chains lives! I think it's about heroin..

No Picture jamie Lead Player	#3 by jamie mordue at Sep 10, 1991 at 6:23 PM EST
	brilliant, somehow I can't stop listening to this song. I like it better Jesusmary chain way than pixies way, and yeez I agree I think its about drugs.
