Song title is spelled wrong. It should be Salome, who is a character in the Bible from the Gospels. She is an icon in the Christian religion for dangerous female seductiveness. She was responsible for the death of John the Baptist because she was granted a request from King Herod to have his head on a "silver platter" because of her mother's hatred of John. She was able to acquire an undeniable request, and thus trick Herod into reluctantly executing John by performing a seductive dance for Herod. I believe Miller is using this name as a comparison to a woman whom he desires and whose beauty he can't resist. His desire for her is futile because she has no commitment and can easily seduce another man into falling for her. This girl is destined to "wreck" a man just as Salome in the Bible.
