Pixies - Letter to Memphis
The day since I met her
I can't believe it's true
She came here from Memphis
Across the ocean, sailing
And I saw her, and I pleaded
''Why do you come so far?'' and she said
★ Refrain ★
Trying to get to you
How I tried to get you
Trying to get to you
★ Verse 2 ★
I'm sending a letter
I'll send it right to you
I'll send it to Memphis
I know that someday
Everything I needed and I wanted
Used to be that my head was haunted
★ Bridge ★
And all these sirens, they make me mad
And all this violence, it brings me down
I feel strong, I feel lucky
★ Refrain ★
Trying to get to you
How I tried to get you
Trying to get to you

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.
