Melt Down Lyrics - Aerosmith

The streets were cold and barren 

The nights were dark and dank 

And the sky, hadn't had a rain cloud in it for 25 years.... 

The buildings were dead and the alleys 

Stunk from things that used to live there 

Ahhh that wasn't the city I remembered 

A child in the street, barefoot pullin' at his 

Mama's tattered coattails: like a rat dogs existence 

With not a scrap left on the plate 

And so much like a fable, their lives so unstable 

Cause the only thing left was their faith 

And there sure as hell ain't much I can do 

About it....

There's a meltdown in the sky 

There's a new day comin' and I don't know why 

There's a fear that gets me high 

And the cold night numbs as the jet black clouds roll on by.... 

So sad was the scene that my eyes did behold 

Made me wonder just who was the foe 

And was it all to come true what nostradamus 

Had predicted such a long long time ago? 

You could hear screams and moanin' 

From the people atoning 

For their sins of a guilt ridden life 

And the final door shuts 

From the wind that leaves cuts 

From the edge on the blade of god's knife 

And there sure as hell ain't much I can do about....

There's a melt down in the sky 

There's a new day comin and I don't know why 

There's a tear stuck in my eye 

There's a new day comin' and I don't know why 

Battle lines had been drawn 

Mother nature how she cried 

By her side, till the dawn 

Couldn't kill her if they tried 

How they tried, open eyed, genocide 

Then... she died 

Battle lines had been drawn 

Mother nature how she cried 

By her side, till the dawn 

Couldn't kill her if they tried 

How they tried, open eyed, genocide 

Then... she died 

There's a meltdown in the sky 

There's a new day comin' and I don't know why 

There's a fear that gets me high 

And the cold night numbs as the jet black clouds roll on by....
