Shadowfax - Salome

Well she danced into our town just like an avalanche in May
She broke some hearts, she showed some parts
The boys came back, but not the same
A couple steelworkers from Darby told us all to stay away
But when there's fire a man's a liar
Especially once he's had a taste
She travelled far from bar to bar with seedy clients and cheap stains
But when she danced I was entranced
And knew I had to stake my claim
For ten long nights without the lights she kept me mighty entertained
But then her jaw, a gaping maw
Unhinged as if she was a snake
The life I'd known so well
A tired broken shell
I thought I was prepared
Until my soul was bared
I'd never known so much
Until I felt her touch
But now I must repay
The temptress Salome
All pastors should be pastors good but I had lust among my traits
I could not win against my sin
And so I fell into this fate
I tried to fight without the light and so we tumbled on the ground
I was overpowered, my soul devoured
At least my body's still around
So boys, you heed my tale
You'd better listen well
The market of the just
Is never paid with lust
You'll have to pay a toll
The price your precious soul
So you'd best turn away
If you see Salome
Well she danced into our town just like a storm in late July
She had some heat, was oh so sweet
You know she caught a couple eyes
A man of God from North Dakota told us all to turn and flee
But with those hips, those juicy lips
You know she don't quite bother me
The life I'd known so well
A tired broken shell
I thought I was prepared
Until my soul was bared
I'd never known so much
Until I felt her touch
But now I must repay
The temptress Salome
