The Head of John the Baptist
The head of John the Baptist
Herod Antipas asked the girl to dance
She had her price,
To see her shake those hips
To him it was priceless
Anything you want,
The deal was sealed
Your word is your bond.
Be careful
Of the promises made
On your journey to Blue Mountain peak,
When the blood rushes
And the heart races,
You getting all worked up
Excited and all.
For as the blood flow recedes,
The blood pressure returns
To normal
Heartbeat slows down,
You may regret the offer given
Missile already launched,
And an innocent life is lost.
