Pixies - Motoroller (Official Lyric Video)

Speaking on the track, frontman Black Francis says: “This is one of those kinds of songs where there's little threads you can follow and they take you somewhere. But they're not required for the experience. You can just start fishing around in the lyrics, and maybe you won't find exactly what the story is, but you'll find a story related to the city of Berlin. So just have fun with the clues that are there.”

Motoroller follows previously released tracks their double A-side You’re So Impatient/Que Sera, Sera, Oyster Beds and Chicken.
