[Verse 1]
The city's drowning in the vicious, cruel, maddening heat
My melting body's sinking into the streets
I repeat
The same routine to force myself to move my wavering heat
There comes a point when love becomes obsolete

And I believe that that is it

{Chorus]
Somewhere down the line
My tender heart has turned to lead
And even if I get to meet you one final time
I'd rather it be on your deathbed

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry officer these days you often run out of chalk
I'll interlock my hands and eagerly walk
I'll make this molten body move
And keep my cravings buried deep and on lock
That's what I'd want
But an electrical shock

Runs through my body as I fall

[Build up]
I'm sorry, little brother
I try so hard, yet I just can't remember your name
I wonder at what point one man became another
Well in the end, though, I guess, to your withering brain
It's all the same

[Chorus]
The pavement dissolves
Under the blinding summer sun
The city's slowly vaporising
These iron bindings come undone

Oh please remember, dear mother
Was it Samara 1921?
The memory of when the mountain of the twentieth century pinned us down

[Bridge]
Let us march to the beat
Drag your feet
The red is calling

Let go of your greed
Plant your seed
The water's flowing, flowing

My stomach turns and

I reach out just to hold you one last time
My blood is boiling
This burning air is taking shape
Around my throat
It's heavy arms are coiling, coiling
[Chorus]
Aah
Somewhere down the line
My tender heart has turned to lead
And even if I get to meet you one final time
I'd rather it be on your deathbed

Oh please remember, dear mother
Was it Samara 1921?
The memory of when the mountain of the twentieth century pinned us down
