The Lesson Of Sodom (according To Lot) Lyrics - Momus

For seventeen days we've lived in this cave 

Overlooking the plain with the ruined remains of Gomorra 

When the brimstone was sent we were exempt 

But the daughters of Salt are tempting 

The lesson of Sodom according to God: 

You spoil the child if you spare the rod 

But we had a problem, me and my girls 

I was the only man in the world 

The lesson of Sodom according to Lot: 

If a bottle of wine is all you've got 

Between the salt in your wounds and Lot, girls 

The lesson of Sodom is: 

"I forgot"

Is it my drunkenness or my first-born's kiss 

That makes my second-born's hips sway like there is no tomorrow? 

You know drink is a curse and lust is the worst 

But the daughters of Salt are thirsting! 

The lesson of Sodom according to God: 

You spoil the child if you spare the rod 

But we had a problem, me and my girls 

I was the only man in the world 

The lesson of Sodom according to Lot: 

If a bottle of wine is all you've got 

Between the salt in your wounds and Lot, girls 

The lesson of Sodom is: 

"I forgot" 

With these alibis, a pair of closed eyes and a head full of wine 

There's no need to die for your pleasure 

Me, I'm getting the best of both worlds in incest 

The daughters of Salt - they insist!

The lesson of Sodom according to God: 

You spoil the child if you spare the rod 

But we had a problem, me and my girls 

I was the only man in the world 

To put my girls in the way of the world 

The lesson of Sodom according to Lot: 

If a bottle of wine is all you've got 

Between the salt in your wounds and Lot, girls 

The lesson of Sodom is: 

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink? 

No! 

No, no, no, no, no, no, the lesson of Sodom is: A bird in the hand is worth two in the - 

No! 

Oh, no, no, no, the lesson of Sodom is ... 

The lesson of Sodom according to Lot 

The lesson of Sodom is ... 

I forgot!
