Lyrics Black Mamba - Jethro Tull

Black Mamba

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
