Shiny Shiny Shiny Boots Of Leather

Velvet Underground

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





downy sins of streetlight fancies


chase the costumes she shall wear


ermine furs adorn the imperious


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 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


taste the whip, now plead 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


whiplash girlchild in the dark


severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him


strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
