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 crwal over me

A tropical whisper. a sibilant kiss
Soft strike teasing. dangerous bliss
