Venus in Furs

[Verse 1: Andrew Bird]

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: Lucius]

Downy sins of streetlight fancies

Chase the costumes she shall wear

Ermine furs adorned, imperious

Severin, Severin awaits you there

[Bridge: Andrew Bird & Lucius]

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: Andrew Bird]

Kiss the boot of shiny leather

Shiny leather in thе dark

Tongue of thongs, the belt that doеs await you

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

[Verse 4: Lucius]

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

[Bridge: Andrew Bird with Lucius]

I am tired, woah, I am weary

I could sleep for a thousand years

A thousand dreams, oh, that would awake me

Different colors made of tears

[Verse 5: Lucius, Andrew Bird]

(Ooh) Whiplash girlchild in the dark

(Ooh) Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
