Weezer - Velouria
1999, Where Is My Mind? A Tribute to the Pixies
Velouria is a song released by the Pixies in 1990, and covered by Weezer in 1999 as part of the Where Is My Mind? tribute album. The song is the first officially released track to feature bassist Mikey Welsh. Rivers Cuomo has cited the band as an influence to Weezer’s early sound.
Lyrics:
Hold my head
We’ll trampoline
Finally through the roof
On to somewhere near
And far in time
Velouria
Her covering
Travelling career
She can really move
Oh velveteen!
My Velouria, my Velouria
Even I’ll adore you
My Velouria
Say to me
Where have you been
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
Forever green
I know she’s here
In California
I can see the tears
Of Shastasheen
