Brunette in Black Stockings
Black Countess Lyrics

Lonely stranger – The Goddess of imperious pleasure
The woman is portrayed as a powerful figure, a goddess of pleasure to be worshipped, while the singer sees himself as a mere stranger, alone and longing.

She was sitting at the next table, Hidden behind the velvet of shadows and cigarette smoke
The woman exudes an air of mystery and seduction, representing the unattainable object of desire. The setting of the smoking room and shadows adds to the atmosphere of intrigue and allure.

Her crossed legs in black stockings, Peerless feet in stiletto heels shoes, Brightly painted toenails, Drew a picture of unreal dreams
The singer fixates on the woman's physical appearance, particularly her legs and feet, which are accentuated by her black stockings and high heels. Her painted toenails are seen as a symbol of perfection and unrealized fantasies.

And I was there, In my mind I pulled off fine nylon from these slender legs, Sniffing their scent, Kissing the soft skin
The artist imagines himself engaging in a sexually charged act with the woman, removing her stockings and experiencing the sensation of her skin and scent. This highlights his intense desire for her and a longing for intimacy.

While she was sipping vintage wine, Smoking a light cigarette, Until she noticed my close attention, So evidently paid to her
The woman remains aloof and detached, indulging in luxurious pleasures like wine and cigarettes. She only acknowledges the artist's attention when it becomes too obvious, suggesting a level of control over the situation.

And then I saw her speaking eyes, So mysterious and promising, I heard a whisper of her sensible lips, Offering to follow her
The woman's eyes and lips become the focus of the singer's attention, acknowledging his desire and offering the possibility of fulfillment. Her words and demeanor continue to enhance her mystique and command over the situation.

Lonely stranger – The Goddess of imperious pleasure, She was sitting at the next table, Hidden behind the velvet of shadows and cigarette smoke, Her crossed legs in black stockings, Peerless feet in stiletto heels shoes, Brightly painted toenails, Drew a picture of unreal dreams, And I was there, In my mind I pulled off fine nylon from these slender legs, Sniffing their scent, Kissing the soft skin
The repetition of the first stanza and the last three lines emphasize the singer's fixation on the woman and the intense longing he feels for her. The overall tone of the song is one of unfulfilled desire and an unattainable ideal of feminine allure.
