John the Baptist Jones |
I was ahead |
I was a seer |
I left for Babylon |
You and Herodias stayed in the wilderness |
I was the one |
With the halo on |
But it was all to no avail |
To know a veil of tears |
When I was John the Baptist |
When I was John the Baptist |
When I was John the Baptist Jones |
Ahead on points, ahead of my time |
I was neck and neck with the Kings of Crime |
I worked the rivers, I owned my own home |
I was head and shoulders over flesh and bone |
But when you did the dance of the seven veils |
Salome, Salome, there was only the crockery below me |
I was ahead |
I was a divine |
My success, like shampoo, washed you clean out of my mind |
How could I know |
The lengths you would go |
When you’re ahead of Jesus Christ you don’t look behind |
When I was John the Baptist |
When I was John the Baptist |
When I was John the Baptist Jones |
Ahead of schedule, ahead of the hoard |
I had the Moral Majority drunk as a Lord |
I … I ducked adulterers and did it alone |
I was head and shoulders over flesh and bone |
But when you did the dance of the seven veils |
Salome, Salome, there was only the crockery below me |
Believe me, reprieve me, can you forgive me? |
My sweet Salome, can you reprieve me? For just one night, dear |
You put yourself below me |
Heavens above Salome, put yourself below me |
… For just one night |
