Saline The Salt Lake Queen Lyrics - Rasputina

In a prehistoric dried-up lake 

A million years after the last earthquake 

There lived a little girl who loved to bake 

The only thing she made was cake 

And all she used was salt 

That's all she had - it's not her fault 

Saline, the salt lake queen 

She used a rudimental substance for 

An ingredient that she could pour 

Into a chalice she carved out of stone 

Her only friend, it was a big black crow 

That flew with love 

He would fly high above 

Then look back at her below 

Oh Saline 

Only seventeen 

Swollen up with pride 

Oh Saline 

Under desert skies 

She's a bromide 

She makes green fire in a tunnel of thorns 

And she's got yellow eyes 

She cook alone amid a brutal ruin 

It's hard to tell exactly what she's doin' 

An incantation then the crow flew in 

OOO-oo-oo 

And then she took a taste 

The black crow looked into her fact 

Saline the salt lake queen 

Oh Saline 

Only seventeen 

Swollen up with pride 

Oh Saline 

Under desert skies 

She's a bromide 

She makes green fire in a tunnel of thorns 

And she's got yellow eyes
