Lyrics
<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 uh uh uh uh uh uh
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 </lyrics>
