Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the cold
The coldest of nights
The fire I light
To warm my bones
I've had enough
Of the dreadful cold
[Verse 2]
And from the flames appears Salome
I stand before her amazed
As she dances and demands
The head of John the Baptist on a plate
[Verse 3]
In the morning
Shaken and disturbed
From under soft white fur
I see the dust
In the morning bright
Sets the room alit
[Verse 4]
By the telly appears Salome
I stand before her amazed
As she dances and demands
The head of Isadora Duncan on a plate
[Verse 5]
Oh, it's Salome
Oh, it's Salome
[Verse 6]
In the cold
Coldest of nights
The fire I light
To warm my bones
I've had enough
Of the dreadful cold
[Verse 7]
From the flames appears Salome
I stand before her amazed
As she dances and demands
The head of any bastard on a plate
