Johnny Stranger - P Is for Pompeii

Cleopatra

Let the devil have his way
He's going to get it anyway
Let the devil have his way
He's going to get it anyway

The serpent bites her breast
The poison rings down her neck
And all the while the Roman gods look on

Let the devil have his way
He's going to get it anyway
Let the devil have his way
He's going to get it anyway

The soldiers sheath their swords
The harem's grim and poised
And all the while the Roman gods look on

I go down to the keep
Where cruel Anubis sleeps
And all the while the Roman frauds look on

Let the devil have his way
He's going to get it anyway
Let the devil have his way
He's going to get it anyway

In defiance, I die
A sovereign regicide
And all the while my loyal gods look on

They're looking on

Let the devil have his way
He's going to get it anyway
