Wiki:

"Wave of Mutilation" is an alternative rock song by the American band Pixies, and is the third track on their 1989 album Doolittle. Written and sung by the band's front man Black Francis, the song was inspired by articles about Japanese businessmen committing murder-suicides by driving into the ocean. The song also references a lyric from the Charles Manson-penned "Cease to Exist," released by the Beach Boys as "Never Learn Not to Love."

[Verse 1] Cease to resist, givin' my goodbye Drive my car into the ocean You think I'm dead, but I sail away [Chorus] On a wave of mutilation Wave of mutilation Wave of mutilation Wave, wave [Verse 2] I've kissed mermaids, rode the El Niño Walked the sand with the crustaceans Could find my way to Mariana [Chorus] On a wave of mutilation Wave of mutilation Wave of mutilation Wave, wave Wave of mutilation Wave of mutilation Wave of mutilation Wave, wave
