Manta Ray Lyrics

Artist: Pixies
Album: Pixies At The BBC

All in a day
All for me
Trek across the space
It'll be just like they say

Oo, oo,
Oo, oo
Yeah

Since I am told
Month number three
He has no memory
Of flyers in the night

Oo, oo
Oo, oo
Yeah

They went away(2X)
My manta ray is all right(4X)

Police they say
My mother too
A fish from Mon Shamoo(?)
Above my head tonight

Oo, oo
Oo, oo
Yeah

There is a way(2X)
My manta ray is all right(7X)
(While Black Francis screams "All right!")
All right

These lyrics look accurate in the main, but I can't help wondering if he's actually singing:
"Search for more shampoo"
on line 3, verse 3. I've only ever heard the BBC radio session, mind you.

sorry - on listening again, make that;
"Fish for more shampoo"
I don't know if that's right...

uh... perhaps "a fish from ocean blue" makes more sense?

This song makes me feel idiotically happy and I have no idea why.

"A fish from ocean blue" is correct.

A fish from ocean blue
Above my head ignites

seems even more accurate, according to Frank Black's twisted mind...;)
