Bone Machine Lyrics

Artist: Pixies
Album: Death To The Pixies

This is a song for Carol
Your into Japanese fastfood
And I drop you off with your Japanese lover
And you're going to the beach all day
You're so pretty when you're unfaithful to me
You're so pretty when you're unfaithful to me

You're looking like
You've got some sun
Your blistered lips
Have got a kiss
The days are lit like everyone
Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh

Your bones got a little machine
You're the bone machine

I was talking to preachy-preach about kissy-kiss
He bought me a soda
He bought me a soda
He bought me a soda and he tried to molest me in the parking lot
Yep, yep yep YEP!

I make you break
You make me hard
Your Irish skin *
Looks Mexican
Our love is rice and beans and horses lard
Your bones got a little machine
You're the bone machine

Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh (3x)
Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh

* : "Irish" should be "Island" (i.e. "Your Island skin looks Mexican"), as in
one of the islands of the Caribbean (submitted by Brian Gallagher)

by kenny on 6/6/2008 4:55am "you're so pretty when you're unfaithful to me" is the most painful, truthful lyric ever
by poopoolarson on 6/16/2008 1:16pm It sounds like Irish skin to me. i just listened to the live version from Lyon with headphones about 4 times.
by durk on 6/17/2008 8:13pm i know its technical, but i think the last line should be "oh-uh, oh-uh, oh-uh, oh-uh" -- this i know from listening to the song and reading along. its also why its (3x) and not (4x).
by John on 8/19/2008 5:28am These lyrics make me cry. Kenny, do you want to meet up?
by jake on 9/9/2008 12:34pm i thought the lyric was "your orangish skin looks mexican"
by Lorenzo on 9/26/2008 5:32am It's defo "Irish" skin, it makes way more sense, he's talking about a cute white girl
by ookeybookey on 10/1/2008 1:38pm I like the pixies a lot but frank's references are hard to catch. I swear this is just "white-boy" double entendre.
by Sy Valentin on 10/3/2008 2:28pm This was the very first song I heard by the Pixies back in 1987 on the radio one night when I was living in California. The next week my wife was given the CD Surfer Rosa as a gift and gave it to me since she's not really into rock. I loved it so much I took it as a sign that I must buy every thing they ever put out as they put it out. I LOVE the Pixies and wish they never broke up!
by ycontrol on 10/14/2008 1:17am The lyrics has got to be "Irish skin looks Mexican", I'd say. It could refer to pale Irish skin looking tan, like a Mexican's. Since the girl being talked about has a fondness for the beach. "You're looking like You've got some sun" ^And that.
by Nirvanita on 10/23/2008 1:47pm UH-OH-UH-OH-UH-OH!!! COOOOOL!!!!
by Hope on 12/30/2008 4:59pm So funny how you listen to a song for years and then finally see the lyrics and it just changes everything!!
by MillsyKafer on 1/13/2009 10:25pm Surfer Rosa originally. Death to the Pixies was a best of. I may be wrong.
by bobby on 1/15/2009 9:56pm Just heard this song on 94.9 san diego...coming back from mexico to L.A....what a track!
by Grimm_Smile on 1/25/2009 12:53pm yeah, its definitely "your Irish skin". I agree. but its not like it matters, its not gonna do anything talking about how its wrong.
by atheist on 2/20/2009 9:57pm What about, "your eyes and skin look Mexican"? That might work too.
by kimdealrules on 2/27/2009 5:38pm Some of you have a wacky imagination... It's 'island' skin, the chick's Japanese!!! Japan is an island dig? And you're really into Japanese fast food and your Jap lover, right?
by jake on 3/1/2009 11:29pm uh huh
by Dan Debaser on 4/11/2009 2:04am Who says she's Japanese??? I always heard 'Irish Skin'... But then again I thought it was 'you look alike, you got some sun' By the way it should be 'You're' not 'your' in the second line...
by drennen on 4/24/2009 5:49pm olive skin looks mexican.
by Mandyyy on 4/27/2009 10:42am It's totally 'Irish skin'...it just makes sense that her pale skin has gone bronze from going to the beach 'all day'.... And they are my heroes..
by asa on 5/9/2009 10:35pm I though it was "ivory skin looks Mexican", but that's a bit nonsensical.
by bender on 5/13/2009 2:17am theyre from boston its irish get it
by kinda sorta on 7/30/2009 10:54am I thought it was "Yo! Isacc Stern cooks Mexican." :)
by kinda sorta on 7/30/2009 10:57am By the way, with Frank ANYTHING is possible. All his songs have a tinge of nonsensical about them.
by maybe im fucked on 8/17/2009 7:54am yep its def irish skin
by mustapha mond on 11/17/2009 4:28am "The days are lit like everyone" should be "that taste a bit like everyone". as in she's kissed a whole bunch of people. cuz she cheats on him, you know.
