One of many Biblical allusions in the Pixies' discography, “Dead” tells the story of David’s seduction of Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11) from the perspective of David. Black Francis told Esquire, This song falls into a category I would call biblical. Some stories, mythological or biblical, whether they really happened, some stories resonate. ‘Dead’ specifically is referencing David and Bathsheba. [Intro] (I can't think of nothing) (I'd like to do a nursery rhyme) [Verse 1] You crazy babe Bathsheba, I want ya You're suffocatin', you need a good shed I'm tired of living, Shebe, so gimme [Chorus] Dead! Dead! [Verse 2] We're apin', rapin', tapin', catharsis You get torn down and I get erected My blood is workin' but my, my heart is [Chorus] Dead! Dead! Dead! [Bridge] Hey, what do you know? Your lovely tan belly is starting to grow [Verse 3] Uriah hit the crapper, the crapper Uriah hit the crapper, the crapper Uriah hit the crapper, the crapper [Chorus] Dead! Dead! [Outro] Dead! Dead! Dead!
