NoMeansNo - Slowly Melting Lyrics
==============Our floating houses, on molten graniteOur liquid planetIt is a home for us allI'm firmly planted, my earth is solidI feel a presenceBut there is nothing at allI wanted something, down here is somethingIt's really somethingBut there's nothing at allSlowly meltingWe'reSlowly meltingSeed to tree, earth to birthWe are surroundedWe flourish in the decayWe mark the seconds and count the hoursCross off the daysOf what is slipping awayWe start out loudly and go in circlesAll things covergingWe find an end to each daySlowly meltingWe'reSlowly meltingThe sun is burning, the earth is turningThe earth is dyingIt's slowly melting awayWe start to finish, the fuel exhaustedAnd once I had itBut now it's passing awayIf there is nothing, what is that presence ?I'm slowly meltingBut what is slipping away ?Slowly meltingWe'reSlowly melting
