The Velvet Underground — Venus In Furs

[Verse 1] Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather Whiplash girlchild in the dark Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart [Verse 2] Downy sins of streetlight fancies Chase the costumes she shall wear Ermine furs adorn the imperious Severin, Severin awaits you there [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather Shiny leather in the dark Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart [Verse 4] Severin, Severin, speak so slightly Severin, down on your bended knee Taste the whip, in love not given lightly Taste the whip, now bleed for me [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather Whiplash girlchild in the dark Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
