Out on the Eisenhower, well, I lost my speed
Just a little bit south of a town called Weed
I heard her voice and I had to stop
She called me on to that mountain top
I'm a poor soul lost in the shady trees
I was going to die I was going to freeze
When she touched me
She was velvety
She's a cat of a creature, don't care, she's Velvety
She makes the strangest sounds
She was an island girl of the ancient line
When the whole damn thing sank into the brine
Her true lover from her was torn
She packed it up to Californ'
Then she met me
She's Velvety
She's a cat of a creature, don't care, she's Velvety
She makes the strangest sounds
Out on the Eisenhower, well, I lost my speed
Just a little bit south of a town called Weed
I met Velvety
My Velvety
I like that lemur I lick it that's Velvety
She makes a pretty sound
*on this 'B' Frank does a sliding thing in from an A barre chord.
and for the G, it might be minor during the verses but it doesn't
seem like it. it's almost as if it could swing both ways.
a little insiders info... or not, maybe everyone already knows this...
This was a pixies b-side (an instrumental) and Frank originally wrote
this song when he was about 15.
