Old 97's - Salome Lyrics






Salome, uncross your heart
I know what goes on inside, it's over before it starts
Well I'll stay all night, I'll wait right here
Full moon might work magic, girl but I won't disappear

And I'm tired of makin' friends
And I'm tired of makin' time
And I'm sick to death of love
And I'm sick to death of tryin'
And it's easier for you
Yeah, it's easier for you

And it's easier for you
Yeah, it's easier for you

Salome, untie my hands
Well I'll find another lady and you'll wreck another man
It's over now, yeah, and so are we
My blood's turned to dirt girl, you broke every part of me

And I'm tired of makin' friends
And I'm tired of makin' time
And I'm sick to death of love
And I'm sick to death of tryin'
And it's easier for you
Yeah, it's easier for you

And it's easier for you
Yeah, it's easier for you

And I'm tired of makin' friends
And I'm tired of makin' time
And I'm sick to death of love
And I'm sick to death of tryin'
And it's easier for you
Yeah, it's easier for you

And it's easier for you
Yeah, it's easier for you

And it's easier for you
Yeah, it's easier for you

Old 97's Salome Comments
  1. A.... N....

    No one writes a heartbreak song like Rhett.

  2. C.... T....

    Fuck you Angela

  3. E.... M....

    Saw them at the House of Blues in New Orleans last night. They played this song and I honestly damn near burst into tears. Growing up with the Old 97s, this was always just a sad song, but now it hits me like a fucking bus.

  4. C.... G....

    thx Felix

  5. D.... C....

    love the bass in this song

  6. t.... e....

    Sheer terror brought me here

    t.... e....

    I'm sure Sheer Terror is just the name of the thing that you heard this song in but your comment makes it sound like you were just utterly terrified in some nonspecific way and you just kinda ended up here.

    t.... e....

    @Ezekiel Martin Sheer Terror is a legendary New York Hardcore band.

    t.... e....

    @Anon Nymous Thanks, I'll check 'em out!

    t.... e....

    Sheer terror also brought me here!

  7. A.... S....

    Sheer Terror bought me here!

    A.... S....

    Was talking to Paul couple nights ago about st covering it!!!!

  8. C.... C....

    And a big shout out and fuck you to the girl that showed me this. At least dating girls with a good taste in music means plenty of great break- up songs.

  9. A.... C....

    Listened to this album at a lake house party in '99. Different girl both nights. Sank a paddle boat in the middle of the lake on Friday. Had to swim in. One girls getting married this month, other ones gone. Life's crazy.

    A.... C....

    Gone as in passed away??

  10. S.... C....

    heard this in 1999 and related to it more than I wanted to admit. seventeen years later, nothing has changed.

  11. D.... A....

    This really takes me back. Saw these guys in a small bar in Lexington, KY back in the mid 90's. Good times that will never return.

  12. S.... C....

    I was actually named after this song.

    S.... C....

    I'm late as hell but that's honestly really cool. I'm just named after a guy who tripped acid in the Old Testament, but I like to pretend I'm named after Jules Winfield's Bible quote from Pulp Fiction, Ezekiel 25:17.

  13. R.... T....

    This stuff is great:)

  14. O.... ....

    One of the greatest songs to hate yourself to.

    O.... ....

    also one of the greatest songs to listen to while hating those that betrayed you!

    O.... ....

    Ojo- Worked for me. I hate you.

    O.... ....

    hahahaha hell yes

  15. i.... ....

    The movie The Break Up brought me here

    i.... ....

    me too.

  16. C.... K....

    I can listen to this on repeat 4ever <3 "it's over now, yeah and so are we..."

    C.... K....

    Claudia Kindler too young for all this self hatred... leave it to the old people sweetheart lol

  17. B.... ....

    Miller conflates biblical allegory with modern day angst over love into a beautiful alt rock tune.  Bravo.

  18. B.... W....

    good stuff

  19. V.... V....

    Thanks for recording a modern day love song, with an old school burn!

  20. e.... w....

    I saw them last week in Austin & I cant get this song out of my head

  21. T.... D....

    This song got me through the late 90s!

  22. i.... r....

    i love u for this

  23. M.... K....

    great now some asshole is going to say "It's actually spelled Murry"

    M.... K....

    It's actually spelled Quetzalcoatl

  24. M.... K....
