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

A canção “Venus in Furs” da Velvet Underground é uma adaptação musical da obra homônima de Leopold von Sacher‑Masoch, publicada em 1870.
O próprio nome “Masochism” tem origem no sobrenome de Sacher‑Masoch, autor do romance que inspirou a música.
Ao compor a faixa, a Velvet Underground buscou homenagear o lado sombrio da sexualidade, refletindo o tema de dominação feminina presente no livro.
A gravação tornou‑se um clássico underground dentro da cena S/M, sendo reconhecida como uma das referências musicais desse subgênero.
