As we walked into the desert
I remember I took your hand
And said “don’t look back, baby you’ll burn.”
As the miles passed out forever
I remember the look you gave me
It said “I’ve had my fun, now it’s your turn.”
And a pillar of salt tastes so good
And a pillar of salt tastes so sweet
And a pillar of salt tastes like heaven
I can’t get enough
Oh lover I could never leave
I met you in the city
You were working a club downtown
And you kissed my palm when I asked you for your name
You said, “I’ve been here since the beginning
I’ve been here since I was a girl
And I love the taste of cherry wine and rain.”
And a pillar of salt tastes so good
And a pillar of salt tastes so sweet
And a pillar of salt tastes like heaven
