Pixies - The Happening
They got a ranch they call
Number Fifty-One
They got a ranch they call
Number Fifty-One
You can't see it at all
Unless you're flying by
Just sitting there square
Baking in the sun
★ Chorus ★
Beneath the sky, sky, sky, sky
★ Verse 2 ★
They're gonna put it down
Right on the strip
They're gonna put it down
On the Vegas strip
They're gonna put it down
Then step outside
Into the lights
Right out of that ship
★ Chorus ★
Saying hi, hi, hi, hi
★ Verse 3 ★
I was driving doing nothing on the shores of Great Salt Lake
When they put it on the air, I put it in the hammer lane
I soon forgot myself and I forgot about the brakе
I forgot about all laws and I forgot about the rain
They werе talking on the 9 and all across the Amy band
Across the road they were turning around and headed south with me
It got so crowded on the road I started driving in the sand
My head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free
The desert turned to mud, it seems that everybody heard
Everybody was remembering to forget they had the chills
Then I heard the voices on a broadcast from up on the bird
They were getting interviewed by some good man whose name was Bill
I'm almost there to Vegas where they're putting on a show
They've come so far, I've lived this long at least
I must just go and say hello

Biography
Pixies are an American alternative rock band which formed in Boston, Massachusetts, United States in 1986. The band consists of Charles (Black Francis) Thompson IV (vocals, guitar; also known as ‘’Frank Black’‘), Joey Santiago (lead guitar) and David Lovering (drums). Until 2013, the band also featured Kim Deal on bass and vocals. The band officially split in 1993 and reunited in 2004. They went on hiatus in 2007, with each band member pursuing projects of their own, only to reunite in 2009, with the announcement of a new tour commencing in Europe that summer.
The band’s style of alternative rock music is heavily influenced by punk and surf rock, and while highly melodic, is capable of being tremendously abrasive at the same time. Francis is the Pixies’ primary songwriter and singer and has a distinctly desperate, yowling delivery. He has typically written cryptic songs about offbeat subjects, such as UFOs and surrealism. References to mental instability, violent Biblical imagery, and physical injury feature in many of the band’s songs.
