One Night in Pompeii
(Filked in 1998 To 'One Night in Bangkok' from 'Chess'
by Ulvaeus/Andersson/Rice)
THE NIGHTCRAWLER:
Pompeii -
The Eternal City
and the Romans don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of eruptions in a
Show with everything but Lord Lytton.
Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
Since Madame Seline had the Proconsul visit
All gone -- don't you know that when you
Live below a volcano you're bound to need rescue
Like Etna -- or Krakatau -- St. Helens -- or -- or this place!
CAST:
One night in Pompeii and the world's your bonfire
You'll want forever but your life ain't free
There's one small chance if your child becomes your sire
After you cry 'The gods can't destroy me!'
Live or die, General, which choice will it be?
THE NIGHTCRAWLER:
One girl's very like another
When your fangs sink into her vein, my brother
NICHOLAS:
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be spilling all their blood, not seeking humanity
THE NIGHTCRAWLER:
Whaddya mean? You've drunk one lawyer, one chartered accountant --
CAST:
Bimbos, honey, wine, warm, sweet
Jump at the chance to be your Neck Of The Week
THE NIGHTCRAWLER:
Indeed! You're talking to a vampire
Too old and powerful for stake or fire
I get my kicks above the neckline, sunshine!
CAST:
One night in Pompeii, Vesuvius rumbled
Not much between ashes and ecstasy
One night in Pompeii and the brothel crumbled
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel Divia walking next to me
DIVIA:
TO's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of immortal fitness
This grips me more than would a
Dusty old tomb or reclining Roman
All those years I thought about Lucius - what's he doing? -
I never did envision
Innkeeper: a lofty position.
I'll let you watch, I will invite you
But losing your friends should not excite you
So you better wave bye to your Urs, your Vachon, your dear Nicholas...
CAST:
One night in Pompeii and the world's your bonfire
You'll want forever but your life ain't free
There's one small chance if your child becomes your sire
A little flesh, a little history
Mother, daughter, lover - why not be all three?
One night in Pompeii, Vesuvius rumbled
Not much between ashes and ecstasy
One night in Pompeii and LC's bust tumbled
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel Divia walking next to me.
