Lookout
Pompeya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is somewhere, some place in the world I want to take you
Look out, look out, look out
I am one boy, one boy in a thousand that wants to make you
Look out, little girl, little girl, little girl, look out, outIf you're hiding and I'm hiding from some bum that wants to get you
Look out, look out, look out
If you're lonely and I'm lonely and I'm near you, I can't hear you
Look out, little girl, little girl, little girl, look out, outShe over yonder when the lights have read your name
Search to the riddle to the clue to the river she came
Look out on the land to the south, to the east, three said
Cancel Colorado in the march by request
Don't go on the lookout of a whim, aye she saidThere is somewhere, some place in the world I want to take you
Look out, look out, look out




I am one boy, one boy in a thousand that wants to make you
Look out, little girl, little girl, little girl look out
