Melt down, melt down

Verse 1

Twelve on the dot and the heat starts sweating

Back wall dripping and the floorboards bending

T-shirt sticking and you shake that sleeve

Step to the left, let the shoulder breathe

Cold condensation on a plastic cup

Bass in your sternum when the subs wake up

Rubber on your sneakers squeak on the tape

Nobody moving for the fire escape

Pre-Chorus

You catch that tempo, you take that cue

Room gets tighter as the strobe turns blue

Count down the seconds till the kick drum hits

Every body leaning where the rhythm splits

Chorus

Melt down, melt down

Melt down, shake

Melt down, melt down

Melt down, break

Melt down, melt down

Melt down, shake

Melt down, melt down

Melt down, break

Verse 2

Twelve forty-five and the air turns sweet

Puddles on the tile round a hundred feet

Steam on the glass in the bathroom hall

Sweat-slick palm on the painted wall

You feel that double kick snap and roll

Bassline taking all the body control

Hair sticking damp to the back of your neck

Hundreds in the dark on the lower deck

Pre-Chorus

You catch that tempo, you take that cue

Room gets tighter as the strobe turns blue

Count down the seconds till the kick drum hits

Every body leaning where the rhythm splits

Chorus

Melt down, melt down

Melt down, shake

Melt down, melt down

Melt down, break

Melt down, melt down

Melt down, shake

Melt down, melt down

Melt down, break

Bridge

No clock, no coat, no cold outside

Just skin on skin in the heavy slide

Zero hour drops and the bass comes in

Count four, count three, let the shake begin

Chorus

Melt down, melt down

Melt down, shake

Melt down, melt down

Melt down, break

Melt down, melt down

Melt down, shake

Melt down, melt down

Melt down, break
