About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1: Black Francis with Kim Deal] Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that I had just something you wore I put it on when I go lonely Will you take off your dress and send it to me? [Verse 2: Black Francis with Kim Deal] I miss your kissing and I miss your head And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead Run outside in the desert heat Make your dress all wet and send it to me [Verse 3: Black Francis with Kim Deal] I miss your soup and I miss your bread And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead So spill your breakfast and drip your wine Just wear that dress when you dine [Interlude] P-I-X-I-E-S [Verse 4: Black Francis with Kim Deal] Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that I had just something you wore Bloody your hands on a cactus tree Wipe it on your dress and send it to me [Verse 5: Black Francis] Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that I had just something you wore

The event coincides with the band's 40th anniversary celebration in June.

Founding trio reunites with Emma Richardson, highlighting early UK support and milestones.

The track arrives ahead of their set at All Points East.

They've also shared a new single that's (kind of) about a decapitated chicken.
