This song is about the singer’s amazement in the qualities of stories about statutory rape, suicide/marriage, childhood games, and vacation destinations.
According to Kim Deal, this was, along with “Brick Is Red”, one of the first Pixies songs to be released in a demo tape.
[Intro: Kim Deal, Frank Black]
... girls and fucked them at school. All I know is that there were rumours he was into field hockey players. There were rumours...
So I applied, basically...
He was gone the next day
...and went out for the team
It's like, he was go— They'd just like... It was like, so hush hush. They were so... quiet about it. And then the next thing, you know...
[Verse 1: Kim Deal & Frank Black]
The day before that I was wed
She went upstairs and she shot her head
[Chorus: Kim Deal & Frank Black]
I'm amazed
I'm amazed, ah!
I'm amazed
I'm amazed
[Verse 2: Kim Deal & Frank Black]
And when I was a little boy
A ball of string, my favorite toy
[Chorus: Kim Deal & Frank Black]
I'm amazed
I'm amazed, ah!
I'm amazed
I'm amazed
[Verse 3: Frank Black]
Before I died, I took my Honda
And packed it up, up, up to Arizona, honey
[Chorus: Kim Deal & Frank Black]
I'm amazed, ah!
I'm amazed
I'm amazed
I am amazed!
