Rock Clip of the Week - The Pixies "Levitate Me" (live 1988)

Got 2:20 to spare? Then click off and dig the entrancing sounds of The Pixies, captured in a live 1988 performance doing the song "Levitate Me" from the band's 1987 (!) debut "Come on Pilgrim".



Is this song a come-on to a lover? Is it a halt to another? You decide!

"Give me help, give it help, you can Levitate me
Then take off them rings, off them hose Levitate me
Higher place Levitate me
Elevator lady, elevator lady, elevator lady, elevator lady, lady
Levitate me
If all in all is true, if all in all is true, if all in all is true
If all is true
Won't you please run over me? Won't you please run over me?
Won't you please run over me? Won't you please run over me?
Shaky shake, shake it Levitate me
Come on, pilgrim, you know he loves you
Levitate me
Higher place
They kick your baby??
Elevator lady, elevator lady, elevator lady, lady
elevator lady, lady, lady
Levitate me
If all in all is true, if all in all is true, if all in all is true
If all is true
Won't you please run over me? Won't you please run over me?
Won't you please run over me? Won't you please run over me?
Won't you please run over me? Won't you please run over me?
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me."
