Look past the grey hairs That add a silver lining to your stare And trace the lines on my face Sometimes we aren't getting any older We just warm up to the smolder Sometimes this place feels misplaced Sometimes we're dreaming together With each other, whatever Forever in ashes and grins Then there's a pause in reaction So go the laws of attraction An eruption, of sorts, at wit's end This feeling's a force of nature Without nomenclature We're melting in hot city rain Hot as a tin roof Dryer than vermouth These are feelings we both entertain Shaved by the metal of the red moonlight Everybody's on the run on a doomsday night Pompeii's for lovers, that's what we heard 'em say

Pompeii's for Lovers
Look past the grey hairs That add a silver lining to your stare And trace the lines on my face Sometimes we aren't getting any older We just warm up to the smolder Sometimes this place feels misplaced Sometimes we're dreaming together With each other, whatever Forever in ashes and grins Then there's a pause in reaction So go the laws of attraction An eruption, of sorts, at wit's end This feeling's a force of nature Without nomenclature We're melting in hot city rain Hot as a tin roof Dryer than vermouth These are feelings we both entertain Shaved by the metal of the red moonlight Everybody's on the run on a doomsday night Pompeii's for lovers, that's what we heard 'em say
