John The Baptist

I’m John the Baptist

And this is my friend Salome

And you can bet it’s my head she wants

And not my heart only

If you see me smiling

And you wonder why

You can bet it’s a private joke

Between her and I.

And it’s alright

Everything is alright

Alright

Everything is alright.

She dances for me

In the midnight moon

And when I play for her

She never sings too soon

When my head’s cut off

And I’m lying on a plate

I’m going to grin and tell myself

It’s been a lovely wait.

And it’s alright

Everything is alright

Alright

Everything’s alright.

With the revelation started

And my face just lightly haunted

I see myself on the nursery wall

On the poster reading wanted

And there’s a big reward

For bringing me in

And I know in my very heart

I committed no sin.

And it’s alright

Everything is alright

Alright

Everything is alright.

I’m John the Baptist

And this is my friend Salome

And you can bet it’s my head she wants

And not my heart only

If you see me smiling

And you wonder why

You can bet it’s a private joke

Between her and I.

And it’s alright

Everything is alright

Alright

Everything is alright

Everything’s alright

Everything’s alright.
