Songwriter: Chris Lowe Neil Tennant
Producer: Pet Shop Boys
I lived a quiet life
A stranger to champagne
I never dared to venture out
To cities of the plain
I 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
Abandoned in the easy 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 realized
The meaning of the show
You've got to love to learn to live
Where angels fear to tread
You need to cast off any guilt or shame
When thunder roars and lightning scores
You'll still be glad you'd came
Are you gonna go
To the Sodom and Gomorrah show? (Sodom and Gomorrah)
It's got everything you need for your complete
Entertainment and instruction
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention
Death and destruction (Sodom and Gomorrah)
The Sodom and Gomorrah Show
Is a once in a lifetime production
(Sodom and Gomorrah)
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention
Death and destruction (Sodom and Gomorrah)
The Sodom and Gomorrah Show
Is a once in a lifetime production
