Bring Me the Head of John the Baptist Songtext
von Flipron

Salome you were there
With perfume in your hair,
You were dancing at my birthday feast.
Dancing like a dog in season
You were goading and teasing out
The lust from a shrivelled old beast.
If there′s a way out someone show me.
Don't think I can say no to Salome.


I could never be your lover -
You′re the daughter of my brother
Only recently deceased.
I'm also given to another,
I got married to your mother
Wich makes you my daughter
As well as my niece.
If there's a way out someone show me.
Don′t think I can say no to Salome.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Salome!

Salome I′m a fly, got my compound eye
On your monstrous and stinking flower!
Salome I'm a worm, I don′t think I can Purn
The advances of your lurid power.
If there's a way out, someone show me.
Don′t think I can say no to Salome

And you said "bring me the head of John the Baptist
On a shiny silver dish".
There was nothing I could do,
I'd made promises to you
To grant you whatever you wished.
If there was a way out, no-one showed me
And I never could say "no, no" to Salome


Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Salome!
