[Verse 1]
Feelin' worn down, like a piece of glass
Doesn't take too much to get yourself to feed your monkey
Tell some white lies, make them swallow them
You don't see just how you got into this situation

[Pre-Chorus]
Late at night, late at night
You weep for something better
Than the secrets you keep, lay down
Just lay down, here, close to me
And tell me what you want from me

[Chorus]
And I said
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don't let me down
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

[Verse 2]
Wide awake now
And your monkey's dead
You're so perfect that you never really need nobody
Put your hands down, you're among your friends
You just take and take and take and take and take and take and take and…
[Pre-Chorus]
Late at night, late at night
You weep but you're no better
Than the secrets you keep stay down
Just lay down, here, close to me
Pretend you'll never leave me

[Chorus]
And I said
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don't let me down
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Tell me what you want child
Give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don't let me down
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
[Outro]
Hey now, give me the meltdown
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
