Lyrics below:
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?
But, whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
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
But, whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies, blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes, and
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust

Pompeii is a vast archaeological site in southern Italy’s Campania region, near the coast of the Bay of Naples. Once a thriving and sophisticated Roman city, Pompeii was buried under meters of ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The preserved site features excavated ruins of streets and houses that visitors can freely explore.

Milhares de pessoas morreram de uma vez so e a cidade foi incrivelmente bem preservada pela petrificação da lava vulcânica, inclusive os cadáveres.

I was working at an adolescent girls group hone where all the girls were heavily into rap. They used to call me Earth Muffin because I work Doc Martin's and Birkenstocks. It was a somewhat of a misnomer though, since I was more of an Alternative new wave chick. Anyway, they used to get kind of annoyed when I drove them around, because I played all my "weird" music. But Cities in Dust, especially the extended version, was universally loved and I was always asked to blast out on the van speakers. Just a testament to what a great song this is!

I go often (sometimes weekly) to see those bands live and travel to other countries even. Meet alternative people who also grew up in the 80s. Play your records, tapes, cd's and now even KZfaq to get in that 80s music vibe ☞ I'm was born and raised in the 70s and 80s and now over 40 I still live my life the same: PunkRockandRoll 🎸🎤I'm a Rocker untill I die 😬😝 PS: instead of missing the 80s era, people have to live it. Don't grow up too much 😛because that's boring and it makes you (look) old. FOREVER YOUNG 💃🏾😊 oh yeah..
