Meltdown

[Produced by Stromae]

[Intro: Pusha T]

Lorde, meet King Push

[Verse 1: Pusha T]

Life is like a costume party

Just cover the floors in Cavalli

Let's hide the hurt in a molly

We're all tryna be somebody else

You can't hide your tears in wealth

When your heart knows you hate yourself

It's all pain we felt

Just the way that the card's been dealt

[Refrain: Lorde]

Velvet rope, let us pass

Drop an olive in your glass

Put it on, a disguise

It's an opera of lies

Everyone on the run

Fifty feet all on the gas

Take him out, take him out

Gonna take him out, woah

[Pre-Chorus: Lorde]

We're the only theory they can't prove

And we don't have anything to lose

[Chorus: Lorde]

In my eyes, in my ears bring might

Love is only figured once in life

Tell the crowd, search the town

And we made it all melt down

It's a full meltdown

[Verse 2: Q-Tip]

Try to break her spirit so it shouldn't be surprisin'

We're here with no fear and gave her uprising

Gonna blend in with the bullies and the bureaucrats

Arrows pierce like lightning, choppers sound like thunder clap

Never will you stand, we gon' lay you down

Debonair and dapper kids comin' in to take the town

Try to restrain us, even though you trained us

We're better than you are, now we're gonna make you famous

[Refrain: Lorde]

Velvet rope, let us pass

Drop an olive in your glass

Put it on, a disguise

It's an opera of lies

Everyone on the run

Fifty feet all on the gas

Take him out, take him out

Gonna take him out, woah

[Bridge: Pusha T & Lorde]

We're all lookin' for status

Cristal sent over on gratis

Can't pretend we're not plastic

When these poker faces take practice

Who to trust? Who to love?

Who to run from? Who to hug?

Set fire to a government of thugs

Respect only comes from the money or your blood

We're out of sight, shadows of light

They're closing in and I know where we're goin'

But I don't know who I'll be

[Chorus: Lorde]

In my eyes, in my ears bring might

Love is only figured once in life

Tell the crowd, search the town

And we made it all melt down

It's a full meltdown

In my eyes, in my ears bring might

Love is only figured once in life

Tell the crowd, search the town

And we made it all melt down

It's a full meltdown

[Outro: Haim]

(I can hear, and see a ghost)

Was it meant to be?

(In my mind, I know)

'Cause I can't see

(And if you keep acting up)

I can't see

(I'm your undertow)

(I can hear, and see a ghost)

Was it meant to be?

(In my mind, I know)

I can't see

(And if you keep acting up)
