Gomorrah Lyrics - Garcialive, Vol. 4: March 22nd, 1978 Veteran's Hall - Jerry Garcia

Just a song of Gomorrah, I wonder what they did there 

Must've been a bad thing to get shot down for 

I wonder how they blew it up or if they burned it down 

Get out, get out Mr. Lot and don't you turn 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 tellin' me to flee the very same voice I always believe 

Say a lot of trouble comin', but it don't have to come to you 

I'm telling you so you can tell the rest what you've 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 take the shock 

Blew the city off the man, left nothing there but fire 

The wife of Lot got turned to salt, because she looked behind her.
