Venus in Furs

   Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
   Whiplash girl-child in the dark
   Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
   Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
   
   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

   
   Kiss the whip 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
   
   Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
   Severin, down on your bended knee
   Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
   Severin, taste the whip, now plead for me
  
Chorus
   
   Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
   Whiplash girl-child in the dark
   Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
   Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
