Just a song of Gomorrah I wonder what they did there Must have been a bad thing to get shot down for I wonder how they blew it up or if they tore it down Get out, get out, Mr Lot and don't you look around Who gave you your orders? Someone from the sky I heard a voice inside my head in the desert wind so dry I heard a voice telling me to flee The very same voice I always believe Said: a lot of trouble coming but it don't have to come to you I'm sparing you so you can tell the rest what you been through But don't you turn around, no Don't look after you It's not your business how it's done You're lucky to get through You're a good upstanding man A credit to the flock But if you don't face straight ahead You could not stand the shock Blew the city off the map Left nothing there but fire The wife of Lot got turned to salt because she looked behind her Because she looked behind Because she looked behind
