Black Mambo Lyrics

"What'll it be now Mr. Mole?"
Whisper sloth in curls of smoke
Take a back seat or play pharaoh
Dance with me and shake your bones

Slow down it's a science
He's been waiting
To bring you down
Snake eyed with a sly smile
He can hold you
And shake you child

Leopards laze each
On plush pillows
Slender capes
Of red and chrome
Paperback dreams
In their deep doze
Twitch their toes to black mambo

Slow down it's a science
He's been waiting
To bring you down
Snake eyed with a sly smile
He can hold you
And shake you child

"Wanna play cheat now?" Says the sloth
A domino flush to his nose
Tickle that cheek
And take your throne
Pump your veins with gushing gold

Slow down it's a science
He's been waiting
To bring you down
Snake eyed with a sly smile
He can hold you
And shake you child

We can hold you
We can hold you
We can hold you
We can hold you
We can hold you
We can hold you
We can hold you
We can hold you

What is the Meaning of Black Mambo?

Diving into the world of temptation and allure, this track paints a vivid picture of a game of seduction. The lyrics suggest an encounter with a cunning character represented by the "Mr. Mole," who is being enticed by the "sloth" to join in a dangerous dance - possibly symbolizing risky behaviors or decisions. The repeated phrase "slow down it's a science" could imply that manipulation or control is at play here, emphasizing the need for careful thought and deliberation. The song could also be interpreted as dealing with themes of power dynamics, manipulation, and the struggle between giving in to temptation or resisting it. It's an intriguing exploration into the darker side of human nature.
