Jethro Tull Black Mamba song 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

Ooh, be my slippery slider, black mamba crawl over me

A tropical whisper, a sibilant kiss

Soft strike teasing, dangerous bliss

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

Ooh, be my slippery slider, black mamba crawl over me
