Split Open and Melt Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the mornin' I pack up my gear and toss it in my carryall
Run the wide load to lip and watch the big core crack and glow
In the evening I undo my belt
Split open and melt
[Verse 2]
I wake up on my stomach with my face between my hands
And crawl along the floor towards the doorway
Jumpin' to my feet, I try to pull myself together
But I feel it in my knees and the room begins to spin
And I slip and bump my head and raise a welt
Split open and melt
[Chorus]
Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
Split open and melt, split open and melt
Split open and melt, split open and melt
Split open and melt
[Bridge]
We breathe deep in a steam dream
And plunge below the water line
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Between beams to the gloom room
Among the seaweed and the slime
Down, down, down, down, down, down
[Chorus]
Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
