When I Acquire You Songtext

von Venus In Furs

Let me introduce myself
I am your favourite god
I will possess you
And fit you like a glove
You'll say your friends have been asking after you
But you will forget them all
When I acquire you

You'll recognise me
When you undress in the dark
And my absence leaves a question
And a question mark
Maybe this tyranny will be the death of me
But I'll still reserve your space
In my monopoly

I want you
I want you
It happens all the time
When I see you
And I'm close to you

So take up the ballpoint pen
They'll peck at your brain
Seal the lie with a contractual kiss
Till you're passive once again
But don't lose your head
Until we reach the guillotine
Join all your friends
In my happiness machine
