Lyrics
Unicorns & Rainbows version:
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 fancy Chase the costumes she shall wear Ermine furs adorn imperious Severin, Severin awaits you there (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 (Different colors made of tears) Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather Shiny leather in the dark Tongue of thong, 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 (for me) For me For me 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
Trust No One version:
