Total Eclipse of Pompeii
Turn around! Solo: Every now and then we get a little bit lonely with the pumice raining down, Solo: Every now and then we get a little bit tired of listening to the volcanic sounds, Solo: Every now and then we get a little bit nervous that the lava’s gonna catch up on us, Solo: Every now and then we get a little bit terrified of looking at Mount Vesuvius,
Turn around, Pliny! Can't you see the end about to start! Can't you see Pompeii fall apart!
And we need you boats tonight And we need them more than ever! And if you’d only stay in sight, We could sail away forever, ‘Cause you know you’ll be saving our lives, Or we’ll never escape,
Together, this eruption and related earthquake Are causing lots of problems as the earth starts to shake, We don’t know what to do and we’re always in the dark, We’re living by a volcano that’s giving off sparks, We really need you tonight! The end is gonna start tonight! The end is gonna start tonight…
Once upon a time, we were having a laugh Now there's only volcanic ash Nothing's any fun With ash eclipsing the sun Once upon a time, Pompeii was our home Now the lava's swallowed it whole Nothing else to say, a total eclipse of Pompeii
