Letter to Memphis

[Verse 1: Black Francis]
The day since I met her
I can't believe it's true
She came here from Memphis
Across the ocean, sailin'
And I saw her, and I pleaded
''Why do you come so far?'' and she said

[Chorus]
Tryin' to get to you
How I tried to get to you
Tryin' 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

[Chorus]
Tryin' to get to you
Say I'm gonna get to you
Tryin' to get to you
