Yet another pixies song that talks about incest. In this one Frank narrates the story of a troubled kid that got outta hand and even had an incestous relationship with his sister after he killed her
"He took his sister from his head
And then painted her on the sheets
And then rolled her up in grass and trees
And they kissed 'till they were dead"

You have to take into account that most victims of child abuse keep it in secret and feel very ashamed about it when they shouldn't cause it wasn't their fault. If they don't find some sorta way to express that pain it could eat them up. I think he chose to record that song to express to other victims that they're not alone and im sure that through him sharing his story some of his listeners that went through that found the courage to break the silence just as he did.
