Velvet Underkill from Velvet Underkill by Sweet Gum Tree

Down on twenty-third street
Can you feel my heart beat
Trying to catch up with a past-century feat
Outside society
At a damaged Chelsea
Half reality half fiction
In room one sixteen
I had the sweetest dream
You're one of Andy's people
In the intimate company
Of gorgeous Susan Bottomly
And her long eyelash extensions
Fishnet stockings
And crystal drop earrings
Others pale in comparison
As the party carries on
Can't remember where I'm from
And desire feels wanton
She lights you a cigarette
Comments on your neck
Gracefully matched by her own
You let her velvet hands
Do your make-up and hair
Susan seems no debutante
As the evening progresses
You swap clothes, she undresses
And while she tries your shoes on
She shares her interest
Staring at your chest
Marvelling at your bosom
Every favour you return
And your kisses seem to burn
As your bodies twist and turn
Every favour you return
The room is spinning round
In the morning chill
We woke up to a standstill
A velvet underkill as our sonic thrill
And then it was time to check out
