  • Hold my head, we'll trampoline
    Finally through the roof (finally through the roof)
    Onto somewhere near and far in time
    Velouria, her covering
    Traveling career (traveling career)
    She can really move, oh, Velveteen

    My Velouria, my Velouria
    Even I'll adore you, my Velouria
    Even I'll adore you, my Velouria

    Say to me, where have you been?
    Finally through the roof (finally through the roof)
    And how does lemur skin reflect the sea?

    We will wade in the shine of the ever
    We will wade in the shine of the ever
    We will wade in the tides of the summer, every summer
    Every my Velouria, my Velouria

    Forevergreen, I know she's here
    In California (California)
    I can see the tears of Shasta sheen

    My Velouria, my Velouria (V-E-L-O-U-R-I-A)
    Even I'll adore you, my Velouria (V-E-L-O-U-R-I-A)
    Even I'll adore you, my Velouria (V-E-L-O-U-R-I-A
    Even I'll adore you, my Velouria (V-E-L-O-U-R-I-A)
    Even I'll adore you, my Velouria (V-E-L-O-U-R-I-A)

  • Jeff from Austin, TxAmazing song! Definitely one of their poppiest, most radio-friendly.
  • Mary from Pittsburgh, PaWeezer covered this song on 1999's "Where Is My Mind: A Tribute to the Pixies." It's a great version of this awesome song.
