Lyrics
Black Mamba
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 crwal over me.
A tropical whisper. A sibilant kiss.
Soft strike teasing. Dangerous bliss.
