(Hide the) Salome Songtext
von Kurt Elling

I′m being stalked by you
I'm pursued by a woman determined to have her way with me
I′ve gotta make her see that the bird she hunts has flown

I've seen that look before
There is a hunger in your eyes and I am to be the prize to be
And through the closing door, quoth the raven nevermore

Your love is like a pistol you hold to my chest
You give me a kiss, every kiss is a test
You don't really want my love, all you want is my head
Stuffed and monied on your wall


I try to plead with you, but you don′t listen at all
You treat the end of romance as though it′s apocalyptical
Love's gone around the bend and I′ve got to make this nightmare end, ooh

I'm being stalked by you
I′m pursued by a woman determined to have her way with me
I've gotta make her see that the bird she hunts has flown

I′ve seen that look before
There is a hunger in your eyes and I am to be the prize to be
And through the closing door, quoth the raven nevermore

Your love is like a pistol you hold to my chest
You give me a kiss, every kiss is a test
You don't really want my love, all you want is my head
Stuffed and monied on your wall


I try to plead with you, but you don't listen at all
You treat the end of romance as though it′s apocalyptical
Love′s gone around the bend and I've got to make this nightmare end
