John The Baptist Lyrics - Singles - Martyn John And Beverly

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 slightly 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
