Velvet Goldmine movie - Sebastian lyrics

rate me

Song by The Venus in Furs<br /><br>

Radiate simply, the candle is burning so low for me<br>

Generate me limply, I can't seem to place your name, cherie<br>

To rearrange all these thoughts in a moment is suicide<br>

Come to a strange place, we'll talk over old times we never spied<br>

<br>

Somebody called me Sebastian<br>

Work out a rhyme, toss me the time, lay me, you're mine<br>

And we all know, oh yeah!<br>

<br>

Your Persian eye sparkle; your lips, ruby blue don't speak a sound<br>

You, oh so gay, with Parisian demands, you can run-around<br>

And your view of society screws up my mind like you'll never know<br>

Lead me away, come inside, see my mind in kaleidoscope<br>

<br>

Somebody called me Sebastian<br>

Love me sublime, mangle my mind, do it in style,<br>

So we all know, oh yeah!<br>

<br>

You're not gonna run, babe, we only just begun, babe, to compromise<br>

Slagged in a Bowery saloon, love's a story we'll serialise<br>

Pale angel face; green eye-shadow, the glitter is outasite<br>

No courtesan could begin to decipher your beam of light<br>

<br>

Somebody called me Sebastian<br>

Dance on my heart, laugh, swoop and dart, la-di-di-da<br>

Now we all know you, yeah!<br>

<br>
