“Lyrically this is a song for the cold hearted who need to be encouraged to abandon their iciness and to warm up as human beings” - Burke Shelley
Melt the ice away, that's what they say
Say it, say it, say it's safe
Don't you breakdown under hailstone
Yeah, you can do what you want
You can be what you want
It's a bad, bad world
Yes, you know they can hurt
I'm the same as you, I need loving too
Cold winds are blowing
I think it's time I was going
Sad, sad city
When you're giving for a living
Yeah, you can have it with me
It's a perfect dream
You can be here too
There's a lot you can do
By the way you appear
In the eyes of the world
Take my word
You can see the sign coming from afar
You can see the sign coming from afar
Can you see it there?
Oh, oh, melt the ice away
When you're dashing, red lights flashing
Oh, you can burn out a wire, it's a crazy desire
You can go with the wind, you can be my friend
You don't need a hand, take the promised land
You can see the sign coming from afar
You can see the sign, oh yeah, it's there
Oh, oh, melt the ice away
Melt the ice away, yeah, melt the ice away
