Title: KING COBRA
Post by: SFX on November 02, 2017, 10:38:25 PM
First draft of a new song, would love your feedback :)

KING COBRA

Limbs wrapped around you like a python
Speaking in dark tongues with the lights on
You’re giving me a different kind of poison
Firing rounds at me like an overexcited shotgun
(it’s trigger-nometry baby)

Holy Hell, Heavens above
The way you slip and slide in this tunnel of love
Just give it all to me, I want it all baby
I can’t breathe baby
You’re a goer, you’re a boa
You’re constricting me

And when the bulb blows and you think that it’s over
Just gotta run for cover when I stroke your King Cobra

You’re making me feel so goddamn dirty
Tongue on my spine, own wetback safari
(safari so good)
And as I writhe on the floor so silently
I know you’re a predator and I’m dead meat

Pain and pleasure, viable venom
You know just what needs to be done
Poking holes through me, got a chokehold on me
I need to scream baby
Bigger and badder, you’re an adder
Put your forked tongue right through me

You got a penchant for risk and overexposure
But that ain’t nothing when I stroke your King Cobra

You could shoot me dead with a single glance
You could make me crumble with one touch of your hand
Just come on and give me a kiss
My pretty little basilisk
This is no petting zoo, do what you came to do
I got seams for you to rip

And when you go off track on this rollercoaster
Baby that’s just the start when I stroke your King Cobra

My English is weak today,
is this an erotic song?

What style of music is it going to be?

Fantabulous lyrics and useage of words associated with snakes.
Well done SFX!!!

Maybe consider expanding it a little more by adding...
Bite
Antidote
Cleopatra n Asp
Ecdysis - shedding skin
etc etc etc

Jackdaw :-)

Shake or Snake RATTLE n Roll!!!

Ps...
Instead of the line " Badder Badder etc etc"
How about...
Snakes n Ladder
You're an Adder?

    Howdy,
      The only thing i can say about this is, what a fantastic ejaculation of words. This is top notch writing, so many good lines, i love it. Don't tinker, don't change a thing, this is right on the money. I was almost pointing to the sky.

                             Damn good

Kinky as a twisted telephone cord  ;D
I'm with Vintage (well I'm not actually WITH Vintage  ;D) and I say - don't touch it anymore  ;D ;D
You too Vintage!

This is steamy!
I really like the word play
Imagery is good too
I've no complaints here
It stays on course, I like it.

Well written.
