Venus in Furs
Venus in Furs
(By Lou Reed)
Shiny shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
The Count in belts, the servant don't forsake him
Strike dear mistress and cure his heart
Downy scent of street life fancies
Trace the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn imperiously
Severin Severin awaits you there
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams
That would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Kiss the boot of shiny shiny leather
Shiny Leather in the dark
Tongue of thorns, the belt that does await you
Strike dear mistress and cure his heart
Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your dandied knee
Taste the whip in love not given lightly
Taste the whip now bleed for me
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams
That would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Shiny shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplashed girlchild in the Dark
Severin, your Severin comes in belts, please don't forsake him
Strike dear mistress and cure his heart
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams
That would awake me
Different colors made of tears
