Aerosmith - Melt Down Lyrics
The streets were cold and barrenThe nights were dark and dankAnd the sky, hadnt had a rain cloud in it for 25 years....The buildings were dead and the alleysStunk from things that used to live thereAhhh that wasnt the city I rememberedA child in the street, barefoot pullin at hisMamas tattered coattails: like a rat dogs existenceWith not a scrap left on the plateAnd so much like a fable, their lives so unstableCause the only thing left was their faithAnd there sure as hell aint much I can doAbout it....Theres a meltdown in the skyTheres a new day comin and I dont know whyTheres a fear that gets me highAnd the cold night numbs as the jet black clouds roll on by....So sad was the scene that my eyes did beholdMade me wonder just who was the foeAnd was it all to come true what nostradamusHad predicted such a long long time ago?You could hear screams and moaninFrom the people atoningFor their sins of a guilt ridden lifeAnd the final door shutsFrom the wind that leaves cutsFrom the edge on the blade of gods knifeAnd there sure as hell aint much I can do about....Theres a melt down in the skyTheres a new day comin and I dont know whyTheres a tear stuck in my eyeTheres a new day comin and I dont know whyBattle lines had been drawnMother nature how she criedBy her side, till the dawnCouldnt kill her if they triedHow they tried, open eyed, genocideThen... she diedBattle lines had been drawnMother nature how she criedBy her side, till the dawnCouldnt kill her if they triedHow they tried, open eyed, genocideThen... she diedTheres a meltdown in the skyTheres a new day comin and I dont know whyTheres a fear that gets me highAnd the cold night numbs as the jet black clouds roll on by....
