Pompeii Songtext
von Captain Tractor

This time there′s no turning back
This time there is no return
The bridges here are charred and black
And we all watch them burn
Just take what you can carry

No time to shed a tear

Find yourself another place
Make sure it's far from here

We wander and time gets lost
And decades start to pass
There′s t's to dot and there's i′s to cross
And we′re stepping on the gas
But this place will always be here
A monument, a shrine
An April morning, a distant year
Just frozen here in time


Hey, the years decay here in this day
Hey, just like Pompeii
Hey, the years decay here in this day
Hey, just like Pompeii
Just like Pompeii (just like Pompeii)
Just like Pompeii (just like Pompeii)

Still hear the checkpoint guardsmen shout
Still hear the children laugh
Just keep that Geiger counter out
And don't walk off the path
Keep your wits about you, girl
Yeah, keep your head screwed on
We′ll meet back in a thousand years
And then we'll have some fun

Hey, the years decay here in this day
Hey, just like Pompeii
Hey, the years decay here in this day
Hey, just like Pompeii
Just like Pompeii (just like Pompeii)
Just like Pompeii (just like Pompeii)


So my friend, let′s get out of this place
Let's get out, let′s get out
Let's get out of this place, let's get out
Let′s get out, let′s get out of this place, let's get out
Let′s get out, let's get out, let′s get out
Leave it all behind
