Candle Mambo Songtext
von Captain Beefheart

Candle shy, candle weep
Fly hot, candle leap
Candle roll, unfold and ball
Candle large, candle small

Your threads of fire burning up
Your feathers of fire winning night
And turning light and turning light
Light deepest night for me and stare for me

Spin and spin, then and then
When I′m dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
Up above the shadows do the candle mambo

Candle roll, unfold and ball
Candle blur, candle whir, candle her, candle her
While your lights are spinning around

Your feathers of fire winning night
And turning light and turning light


Candle crack, candle break
Correct the night's mistake
When I′m dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
Up above the shadows do the candle mambo

Candle mambo
Candle mambo

When I'm dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
Up above the shadows do the candle mambo

Candle roll, unfold and ball
Candle blur, candle whir, candle her, candle her
While your lights are spinning around

Your feathers of fire winning night
And turning light and turning light

Candle crack, candle break
Correct the night's mistake
When I′m dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
Up above the shadows do the candle mambo
