Pompeii Lyrics

Pack up the bags, gas up the car, yeah
We're getting out
And I only got nervous when, the baby ripped the bottle from his mouth
And the neighbor's dog howled
And his daughter on the front lawn was singing out
Singing out loud
We're all going away
And all of the things that raced through my mind
As we sped up 95
I have never been this close to the threshold of survive
"Hush, now, my child"
But the only thing I wanted to tell her is
"We're not getting out alive"
We're all going away, storm clouds over Pompeii
And I never knew what to say, when the world ends
When the world ends
And all I have left are memories as I hear those sirens wail
I remember grass-stained knees and wind in my hair
Oh, take me back there
Oh, momma, the end is coming, but the end
Is always - always so unclear
Chorus:
We're all going away, storm clouds over Pompeii
And I never knew what to say, when the world ends
When the world ends
Oh, oh, take me back, take me back
Oh, oh, take me back, take me back
Oh, oh, take me back, take me back
Oh, oh, take me back, take me back
