Salome Lyrics

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

i've seen that look before
there's a hunger in your eyes
i am to be the price 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 mounted 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 been around the bend
i've got to make this nightmare end

i'm being stalked by you,
i'm pursued by a woman determined to have her way with me
i've got to make her see
the bird she hunts is flown

i've seen that look before
there's a hunger in your eyes
i am to be the price 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 mounted 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 been around the bend
i've got to make this nightmare end
