Pompeii
Pompeii wasn't built in a day
But ashes cover it that way
They looked up and the sky was gray
Did they know it would all turn out this way?
And I know it'll all burn down someday
But she doesn't wanna live like Pompeii
The volcano is gonna trash it all anyway
But she doesn't wanna live like Pompeii
Girl under the spotlight
She knows it'll all go up in one night
Premonitions of the burning fire
All her heroes calling her a liar
And she knows it'll all burn down someday
But she doesn't wanna live like Pompeii
The volcano is gonna trash it all anyway
But she doesn't wanna live like Pompeii
One wrong step and you're tumbling down
It's hard to be the one they're counting on
To trigger the landslide
And I'm the one who takes and takes
Just waiting for the ground to break
It's only a matter of time
And I know it'll all burn down someday
But she doesn't wanna live like Pompeii
The volcano is gonna trash it all anyway
But she doesn't wanna live like Pompeii
But ashes cover it that way
They looked up and the sky was gray
Did they know it would all turn out this way?
And I know it'll all burn down someday
But she doesn't wanna live like Pompeii
The volcano is gonna trash it all anyway
But she doesn't wanna live like Pompeii
Girl under the spotlight
She knows it'll all go up in one night
Premonitions of the burning fire
All her heroes calling her a liar
And she knows it'll all burn down someday
But she doesn't wanna live like Pompeii
The volcano is gonna trash it all anyway
But she doesn't wanna live like Pompeii
One wrong step and you're tumbling down
It's hard to be the one they're counting on
To trigger the landslide
And I'm the one who takes and takes
Just waiting for the ground to break
It's only a matter of time
And I know it'll all burn down someday
But she doesn't wanna live like Pompeii
The volcano is gonna trash it all anyway
But she doesn't wanna live like Pompeii
