SALOME


I fell in love, with someone I should never love
Cause he never bothered, to love me too
Cocaine and heroin, murder and arson
I got caught up in all sorts of bad situations cause of you

Chorus:
Salome, Salome, look what you’ve done to me
Made me everything a woman should never be
Salome, you brought out the worst in me
So you’re going to have to die today
The sting of your lips on the curve of my hips
And you thought that one day I would just up and run
But in the cool of the dawn, with the morning light coming on
I forgot my running shoes, but I found a gun

Chorus:
Salome, Salome, look what you’ve done to me
Made me everything a woman should never be
Salome, you brought out the worst in me
So you’re going to have to die today
Out in the backyard, with the tulips and the peonies
I brought a shovel, babe, and that’s where you will be
Lilacs and marigolds, I’ll wait ‘til your skin turns cold
The bottom of a six-foot hole, that’s where I will lay thee

Chorus:
Salome, Salome, look what you’ve done to me
Made me everything a woman should never be
Salome, you brought out the worst in me
So you’re going to have to die today
Don’t know much ‘bout redemption,
but I’m gonna need some redeeming
Start going to church on Sunday mornings
Jesus and Joseph, Moses and Mary
If I pray loud enough - maybe someone will hear me

Chorus:
Salome, Salome, look what you’ve done to me
Made me everything a woman should never be
Salome, you brought out the worst in me
So you’re going to have to die today
Salome, Salome, look what you’ve done to me
Made me everything a woman should never be
Salome, you brought out the worst in me
So you’re going to have to die today
