The Meltdown Lyrics

The sun is playing hide and seek

Blind shadows on the wall

The clothesline sags, the clothes won't dry

They're dripping wet outdoors

The thaw is just beginning

The anti-freeze is gone

The car's a statue monument

To yesterday gone wrong

And here in this museum

No curios are found

So I guess I'll hang around

For the meltdown

One time you came round here

I couldn't take the heat

It was so hot, it felt like ice

The place where those two meet

And then the whole room froze right up

We wrapped up warm at night

A little loving glance previewed

The dimming of the light

And now it's dark and empty

Full of the nothing but the sound

Of someone listening

For the meltdown

The weather don't mean anything

Ask the weatherman now he's in Sing-Sing

The pathetic lies of false untruths

Are sliding down the tiles that are sliding down the roof

Tears fall from the eyelids of

Two shoes stepped round the back

Shed for melting hearts

The melting starts my heart attack

That feeling's in the air again

Who is it loves the sun?

When sometime there's no one left

For it to shine upon

You shout into the bedroom

"I think we're going to drown"

But I think we should keep it quiet

Till the meltdown
