What'll it be now mister 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

Weird moaning bass line - I like it.  Very androgynous voice. Very cool song.
Nice Versace.

I may have said this before but it bears repeating - I love Radio Paradise!  Such great music curation.  Wonderful stuff!  More support coming your way when I can muster it.  Keep up your amazing work and thank you.
I find it impressive that they managed to blow up with their worst song (Heat Waves)...
Do I hear the paint drying or is it the band?

Great tune; like a blend of The Roots, Moby, and Agnes Obel - I know how odd that sounds but it's what occurs to me
These guys are trippy

Love Glass Animals, love this song.  Such a groooooooove for me.  I hope you add even more Glass Animal songs to the RP catalogue.
New artists to my ears.
