Lyrics:
Cease to resist
Giving my goodbye
Drive my car into the ocean
You think I'm dead but I sail away
On a wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave
Wave
I've kissed mermaids
Rode the El Niņo
Walked the sand with the crustaceans
Could find my way to Mariana
On a wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave
Wave
Wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave
Wave
I've kissed mermaids
Rode the El Niņo
Walked the sand with the crustaceans
Could find my way to mariana
On a wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave
Wave of mutilation
Wave

Quotes:
"Mostly I try to stick with more physical imagery just because it's more tangible mentally than he or she or it, like 'Little Red Corvette'.
The first line is a joke on The Beach Boys and Charles Manson. They hung out together and all that. And he wrote this song called 'Cease To Exist'. And supposedly The Beach Boys used a lot of his lyrics and gave him a sports car or something. And they had this boys loved girl song where they went 'cease to resist' and changed his lyrics around. They couldn't have 'cease to exist' because it was all powerful suicide stuff! He's just some glorified charismatic figure like Hitler. But he does say some interesting things, he's a result of something but I don't know what."
- NME, 22nd April 1989
"The first verse is about the phenomenon where Japanese businessmen were putting their whole family in the car and driving off the dock. The second verse features the Marianas Trench. The only Pixies song I've played as a solo guy."
- Frank Black in SELECT, October 1997
