Pompeii Lyrics by Cate Le Bon
All my life in a sentiment
All my language is vulgar and true
I’ve pushed love through the hourglass
Did you see me putting pain in a stone?
Get dressed
You’re a mess
You’re a sight
Did you dream about Pompeii?
Your eyes always give it away.
Cities built on monumental rage
Getting lost in the seminar
Every fear,
Every fear that I have
I send it to Pompeii
Now I’m running just to give it away.
Got an ugly wait for morning papers
Sipping wine through a telescope.
Its my heart, it’s the beating of my heart.
