Black Mamba

Lyrics

Hand in the snake pit – black mamba chase Head through the lion's cage – head on a plate Two feet on the hot coals – last dance at the ball Blindfold on the tightrope – whenever you call Be my slippery slider, black mamba crawl over me Dark thoughts of the sleepless – hung out to dry Slip through the bedclothes – unblinking eye Long tongue flickering – fixed stare grip Sweet venomous potion held to my lip Be my slippery slider, black mamba crawl over me A tropical whisper, a sibilant kiss Soft strike teasing, dangerous bliss
