In a prehistoric dried-up lake
A million years after the last earthquake
There lived a little girl who loved to bake
The only thing she made was cake
And all she used was salt
That's all she had - it's not her fault
Saline, the salt lake queen
She used a rudimental substance for
An ingredient that she could pour
Into a chalice she carved out of stone
Her only friend, it was a big black crow
That flew with love
He would fly high above
Then look back at her below
Oh Saline
Only seventeen
Swollen up with pride
Oh Saline
Under desert skies
She's a bromide
She makes green fire in a tunnel of thorns
And she's got yellow eyes
She cook alone amid a brutal ruin
It's hard to tell exactly what she's doin'
An incantation then the crow flew in
OOO-oo-oo
And then she took a taste
The black crow looked into her fact
Saline the salt lake queen
Oh Saline
Only seventeen
Swollen up with pride
Oh Saline
Under desert skies
She's a bromide
She makes green fire in a tunnel of thorns
And she's got yellow eyes
A million years after the last earthquake
There lived a little girl who loved to bake
The only thing she made was cake
And all she used was salt
That's all she had - it's not her fault
Saline, the salt lake queen
She used a rudimental substance for
An ingredient that she could pour
Into a chalice she carved out of stone
Her only friend, it was a big black crow
That flew with love
He would fly high above
Then look back at her below
Oh Saline
Only seventeen
Swollen up with pride
Oh Saline
Under desert skies
She's a bromide
She makes green fire in a tunnel of thorns
And she's got yellow eyes
She cook alone amid a brutal ruin
It's hard to tell exactly what she's doin'
An incantation then the crow flew in
OOO-oo-oo
And then she took a taste
The black crow looked into her fact
Saline the salt lake queen
Oh Saline
Only seventeen
Swollen up with pride
Oh Saline
Under desert skies
She's a bromide
She makes green fire in a tunnel of thorns
And she's got yellow eyes

I love this song, this is probably my favorite song off Frustration Plantation next to If Your Kisses Won't Can't Hold The Man You Love... To lyrics are following and wstrange, yet thought-provoking and the cello is amazingly distorted. I heard this and thought of the Smashing Pumkins. =P haha... Go Rasputina!
