Blue Eyed Hexe Lyrics


I went to make the vivisection
Saw the star carved on her chest
Goat of lust, attacking heaven
Points to the gaze of the Blue Eyed Hexe

Blue eyed hexe
Blue eyed hexe
Hexe hexe
Blue eyed hexe

I tried to hide but I was not able
Shirt was opened down to her navel
Felt a burning in my solar plexus
Give me the pow-wow, give me the hexe

Blue eyed hexe
Blue eyed hexe
Hexe hexe
Blue eyed hexe

I called the Nixes from The Queets
Spirits take me through the straits
Closed my eyes to stop her vexing
Still the burning of the blue eyed hexe

Blue eyed hexe
Blue eyed hexe
Hexe hexe
Blue eyed hexe

Blue eyed hexe
Blue eyed hexe
Hexe hexe
Blue eyed hexe

Blue Eyed Hexe
  • This was released as the lead single from the Pixies' EP2. The songs were recorded during October 2012 at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales and were produced by Gil Norton. They were made available to fans via a limited edition 10" vinyl, which came complete with a black patch-stitched hoodie. Alternatively, fans could simply download the EP via Pixies website.
  • Vocalist Black Francis explained the song's meaning: "It's a tale from the northwestern part of the UK," he said, "and it's a witch-woman kind of a song. That's what a 'hexe' is, and ours is a blue-eyed hexe."

    A Hexe is a German word for a witch. The German medieval metal band Subway to Sally once recorded a song titled "Die Hexe."
  • Guitarist Joey Santiago said of his contribution: "Gil wanted a swagger, he wanted the guitar solo to sound like you're going to have sex with this blue-eyed hexe."
  • The song was originally teased by Frank Black in a Vine clip in August 2013 and debuted by the band the following month during an unannounced show at Los Angeles' Echo.
  • The lyric "Nixes from the Queets" combines German mythology with the name of a river in Washington state. Black Francis told Mojo magazine that Pixies songs exist on "an abstract plain."
