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
