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
