Venus
We Are The Fury Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's a sly cat; plaster white
Shoots her mouth like a firing squad, uh huh
See her ruby jive
Swingin' her hips like the Aphrodite

well, sugar ain't free, it's a lemonade
I spit a couple of teeth trying to get her name, uh huh
flash dance, miss divine
Bought her a couple mixed drinks and a brandy wine, uh huh
Then she starts to crack
I slip her my key, she can't hand it back, uh huh

well she's only 19, but she's doing fine and I've been out five weeks and I need a ride, uh huh

my hotel room comes equipped with a very nice bedroom and a window miss de milo
If you want to room 16 at the continental
Undercover love

hello femme fatale
There's an intimate ball at the carnival, uh huh
Won't you spend the night?
We can dance to an early light, uh huh

it's you and me and my lips are sealed
So why not be who you really feel, uh huh

large hotel room comes equipped with a very nice bedroom and a window miss de milo
If you want to room 16 at the continental
Undercover love

she said 'do me once again'
I took the apple from her hand
She said she knows me
Yeah, she knows me
Paris lets her out at night.

my hotel room comes equipped with a very nice bedroom and a window miss de milo




If you want to room 16 at the continental
Undercover love
