lyrics

Who blocked out the sunlight today?
Oh yeah it was me, I closed
my eyes and it went away.
How's that working for us?
Tell me now, baby how
is it working for us? Well

it's alright
we can
be like ice, and just melt away
we're gonna melt away

I've seen you here before
You've got that look in your eye
Like a kid in a candy store
As the world comes to an end
I'll be playing my guitar,
you can call me a friend. Well

It's alright
we can
watch the ice, as it melts away
it's gonna melt away

It's alright
we'll be just fine
if we will all step out of line
and forget about very nice, very nice, very nice
forget about very nice, very nice, very nice.

Melt away
we're gonna melt away
we're gonna melt away, hey
Melt away

Melt away, gonna melt away, gonna melt away with you
melt away, gonna melt away, gonna melt away with you now
melt away, gonna melt away, gonna melt away with you
melt away, gonna melt away, gonna melt away, with you now
