Black Francis says that “Where Is My Mind?” was written during the time he was attending the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and was inspired by the experience of having a small fish chase him while he was snorkeling in the Caribbean.
David Lovering and Joey Santiago on writing the song and it...
[Intro: Black Francis, Kim Deal]
Ooh—stop
[Verse 1: Black Francis]
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah (Yeah)
Your head will collapse, and there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
[Chorus: Black Francis]
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water, see it swimmin'
[Verse 2: Black Francis]
I was swimmin' in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
Bumped into me, I swear he was trying to talk to me, koi-koi
[Chorus: Black Francis]
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water, see it swimmin'
[Verse 1: Black Francis]
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse, and there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
[Chorus: Black Francis]
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water, see it swimmin'
[Outro: Black Francis]
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Where Is My Mind? was written by Frank Black.
Where Is My Mind? was produced by Steve Albini.
Pixies released Where Is My Mind? on Mon Mar 21 1988.
That came from me snorkelling in the Caribbean and having this very small fish trying to chase me. I don’t know why – I don’t know too much about fish behaviour.
— Frank Black in SELECT, October 1997
