The Melting of the Sun lyrics

So sorry, missed the party

Hello, on the dark side of the moon

Jane lost it, crashed her Corvette

Ran into the tide in Malibu

And we all heard the gun

But I was slow to run

It's just the melting of the sun

(It's just the sun)

I wanna watch you watch it burn

(So watch it burn)

Saint Joni ain't no phony

Smoking Reds where Furry sang the blues

My Marilyn shot her heroin

"Hell," she said, "It's better than abuse"

So who am I tryna be

A benzo beauty queen

It's just the melting of the sun

(It's just the sun)

I wanna watch you watch it burn

(So watch it burn)

We always knew this day would come

(The day has come)

It's just the melting of the sun (Sun, sun, sun)

Brave Tori told her story

Police said they couldn't catch the man

And proud Nina got subpoenaed

Singing, "Mississippi, good goddamn"

But me, I never cried

To tell the truth, I lied

Girl, the world's spinning 'round

Spinning down and out of time

Girl, you can't give in now

When you're down, down and out

Girl, the world's spinning 'round

Spinning down and out of time

Girl, you can't give in now

When you're down, down and out
