Lyrics for Song: The Sodom and Gomorrah Show
Lyrics for Album: Concrete [2006]
I lived a quiet life
A stranger to champagne
I never dared to venture out
To cities of the plain
I'd heard about their way of life
Took it with a pinch of salt
The freedom and the time to play
A life so easy
It intrigued me
When you called to say:
"Are you gonna go to the Sodom and Gomorrah Show?
It's got everything you need for your complete
Entertainment and instruction
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention,
Death and destruction
The Sodom and Gomorrah show
Is a once-in-a-lifetime production"
I think it's true to say
My life was changed that night
In the liberated atmosphere
All around me
Someone found me
Whispered in my ear
"Are you gonna go to the Sodom and Gomorrah Show?
It's got everything you need for your complete
Entertainment and instruction
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention,
Death and destruction
The Sodom and Gomorrah show
Is a once-in-a-lifetime production"
Then we went on
After-hours
There was place down below
It was there I realised
The meaning of the show
You've got to love
To learn to live
Where angels fear to tread
I did it and I don't regret the day
Even now
I think of how
You turned to me to say
"Sun, sex, sin, death and destruction
Are you gonna go to the Sodom and Gomorrah Show?
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention,
Death and destruction
The Sodom and Gomorrah show
is a once-in-a-lifetime production"
