John The Baptist Lyrics

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 all alright               Everything's alright  
 Alright                            Everything's 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 the plate  
I'm going to grin and tell myself it's been a lovely wait
 
With the revelations granted and my face just ?like a? haunted  
See myself on the nursery wall on a poster reading `Wanted'  
And there's a big reward for bringing me in  
And I know in my very heart I committed no sin
