Daniel Boone
Available on:Lyrics:
Last night I was driving around
Nothing to do
Thinking of you
I sighted here on the bend
Reindeer and then it was through
And I floated toward the moon
And I noted from on high
That the Lord Howe reef
Looks like Daniel Boone
And he was showing me his smile
Last night I was driving around
Nothing to do
Thinking of you
I sighted there on the bend
Reindeer and then it was through
And I floated toward the moon
And I noted from on high
That the Lord Howe reef
Looks like Daniel Boone
And he was showing me his smile
Sometimes
I see white
Sometimes
Blue
Blue
And I'm floating down to you
And I'm noting from on high
That the Lord Howe reef
Looks like Daniel Boone
And he is showing me his smile
And he is showing me his smile
Notes:
During the recording process for “Beneath The Eyrie”, Charles Thompson was driving to the studio when he encountered a deer standing in the middle of the road. He imagined later what would have happened had he hit it and been killed in the wreck, which eventually culminated in this track about someone suddenly coming to their end and starting life anew somewhere else. Thompson went on to say in episode of 11 of “It’s a Pixies Podcast” that this was a “sister song” to their track Caribou, given they both have themes of reincarnation and feature similar animals.
