Chords for Black Francis - Velouria (Live at 89.3 The Current)

They used to call Madagascar Lemuria, you know what I mean?
Because the lemurs are from _ Madagascar, you know?
And then, you know, there's this whole Los Continentes of Atlantis thing, of course.
That's in the Atlantic, you know?
But there are these people in California around San Jose,
_ they kind of, they call themselves Rosicrucians,
but they're not like the Rosicrucians of yesteryear.
They're kind of more 20th century.
I'm going somewhere with this, I'm sorry.
I'm just like_
No, I know.
Where, what was it?
Lemuria.
There's this _ lost continent of Lemuria,
as in the lemurs from Madagascar sank in the Pacific,
and all of the inhabitants, they took off,
they flew through the air, whatever,
and they entered into that hollowed out mountain called Mount Shasta,
which is up in Northern California,
where they live today in the mountain.
And I had an experience there a few years ago
with a girl that I met in those parts,
who was one of these Lemurians,
and anyway, this is called Velouria,
because Velour, Velouria, you know,
she was kind of covered in fur, you know what I mean?
Kind of like, she was, you know, she was smooth and beautiful,
but it was like, she was furry, you know?
And anyway, this is called Velouria.
