Slowly Melting Lyrics - Nomeansno

============== 

Our floating houses, on molten granite 

Our liquid planet 

It is a home for us all 

I'm firmly planted, my earth is solid 

I feel a presence 

But there is nothing at all 

I wanted something, down here is something 

It's really something 

But there's nothing at all 

Slowly melting 

We're 

Slowly melting 

Seed to tree, earth to birth 

We are surrounded 

We flourish in the decay 

We mark the seconds and count the hours 

Cross off the days 

Of what is slipping away 

We start out loudly and go in circles 

All things coverging 

We find an end to each day 

Slowly melting 

We're 

Slowly melting 

The sun is burning, the earth is turning 

The earth is dying 

It's slowly melting away 

We start to finish, the fuel exhausted 

And once I had it 

But now it's passing away 

If there is nothing, what is that presence ? 

I'm slowly melting 

But what is slipping away ? 

Slowly melting 

We're 

Slowly melting
