A flasher goddess Stretched upon discarded veils I've waited for millennia to die for her
Paint her lips a sultry red With blood streaming from my neck The setting sun on Galilee Shall bring her to me
She is sweeter than my heart's blood running down her altar The desert sighs her name across the perfumed water
Drink the wine of ancient time The bitterness beneath She, voluptuous death A taste of honey The Naz'rene on the cross His stigmata licked clean Her transubstantiation Is only sin
She is sweeter than my heart's blood running down her altar The desert sighs her name across the perfumed water Salome Won't you dance for me Salome Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Salome Won't you dance for me Salome Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
This melodrama Blood on the silver screen Is final lubricion become obscene Bring me my silver plate This bloody kiss, this sweet revenge Alone, alone, Salome cries Tonight, tonight the Baptist dies
She is sweeter than my heart's blood running down her altar The desert sighs her name across the perfumed water She is sweeter than my heart's blood running down her altar The desert sighs her name across the perfumed water Salome Won't you dance for me Salome Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Salome Won't you dance for me Salome Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Salome Won't you dance for me (Salome, yeah) Salome Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Salome Won't you dance for me (Salome, yeah) Salome Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
