Lyrics

Don't know what to do
I seem to have lost my head over you
Now see it rolling on the ground beside your feet

So shake your tambourine
Maybe it will cast out this wicked dream
That took root in my heart
Whilst I was just wandering about
Then bang - my head was gone
But hey good looking
Haven't I seen you somewhere

Salomé
Viewing figures went though the roof
Salomé
Breakdown or breakthrough

I saw a head in a box
The head was mine
I got quite a shock
I dropped it and then they re-boxed it

I saw a crowd out in the street
My money box kept them sweet, yeah
They made it turn a pretty profit
You shook your tambourine above it

Salomé
Viewing figures just went through the roof
Salomé
Breakdown or breakthrough

Oh there goes my head
Still in a box
Tucked under your arm
Now I'm at a loss
But I just love to watch you dancing
One more time
I'm out of my box
I'm out of my mind
Oh, but you're the boss
Yes you know that you are
So shake your pretty money maker
Yeah shake your pretty money maker

Yes shake your tambourine
Maybe it will cast out this wicked dream
That took root in my heart
Sometime while I was not really looking
Hey good looking
