202: Siouxsie and the Banshees - Cities in Dust

Listen Later
Volcanic eruptions and stone phalluses

Today I talk about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii and phalluses. Be prepared.

Cities in Dust from Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Lyrics

Water was running, children were running

You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?

And

Hot and burning in your nostrils

Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies, blanket of cinders
caught in the throes, and

Whoa oh - oh your city lies in dust, my friend

Oh - oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh - oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh - oh your city lies in dust, my friend

And

We found you hiding, we found you lying

Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories, and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
