Ooh, stop
With your feet on the air
And your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head'll collapse
If there's nothing in it
And then you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'
I was swimmin' in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind a rock
Except the little fish
Bumped into me
I swear he was trying
To talk to me coy koi
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'
With your feet on the air
And your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head'll collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'
Ooh
With your feet on the air
And your head on the ground
Ooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Where Is My Mind? Video (MV)
"Where Is My Mind?" is a song by American alternative rock band Pixies, released as the seventh track on their 1988 debut album, Surfer Rosa. It is one of the band's signature songs and has inspired a multitude of covers.
The song was written by frontman Black Francis while he attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst, inspired by his experiences while scuba diving in the Caribbean. He later said he had "this very small fish trying to chase me. I don't know why—I don't know too much about fish behavior."
Guitarist Joey Santiago composed the song's guitar line. He recalled of his part, "This was actually the first thing I tried. A lazy arpeggio that instantly sounded strong and hooky."
After being featured in the 1999 film Fight Club (in which the song plays over the final scene), the song gained an even wider audience. "Where Is My Mind?" was voted number 29 in the "Hottest 100 of All Time" music poll conducted by Australian radio station Triple J in 2009. Over half a million votes were cast in the poll.
The song was featured on the 2021 version of Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, ranked at No. 493.
