Lyrics:
Black snake diamond role
Twist away across the floor
Trails away like mercury
Have you ever seen her?
Been right in between her?
She's a goddess
You're paid double
Just to be a candlestick
Black snake diamond rock
Cut in half and watch it shine
Diddle me with confidence
I hear seen her squeeze her bulb
Singing like a windowpane
The mirror's glass a broken face?
Yes.
She's not young and she's not old
She's a woman every time
Got a penthouse full of dwarfs
Lord, I wish that she was mine
Well, maybe she is
Rock around the fire escape
Boogy with a question mark
Dancin' with a rubber snake
Goin' down to Milton Keynes
Lookin' for my destiny
Feelin' young and dignified
In a velvet glitter me
Yes.
Black snake diamond rock
Hungry fingers in a smock
Sucking on a croaker's top
Tulips blossom in a shop
Tulips from Amsterdam
Two lips from Amsterdam
Join together at the sides
Black snake diamond role
I'm gonna win my bride
Gonna be a burning ivy
Well, I hope it be alright
In our special spanner
You me, exquisite her
Tulips from Amsterdam
Tulips from Amsterdam
Two lips
Black snake diamond role
Yeah
No guitar tab entered.
