Meltdown
AC/DC · Stiff Upper Lip [1999]
Night time or day
Looking at a female
Hey, hey, hey
Gotta get up and come home
And run around the hay
Making her sweat,
Telling her to last all through the day
Man it's getting hot - hot - hot
I said man it's getting hot - hot - hot
It's getting hotter
And hotter
Man it's getting hot - hot
It's getting hot around here
It's a meltdown
It's a meltdown
I got a feeling in my bones
I been working my brains out
All night long
Stoke another fire
Take them hard up to the wall
Burn the longest log
Burn me down
Man it's getting hot - hot - hot
I said man it's getting hot - hot - hot
It's getting hotter, and hotter
Man it's getting hot, hot
It's getting hot around here
It's a meltdown
It's a meltdown
It's a meltdown
It's a meltdown
- solo -
Man it's getting hot - hot - hot
I said man it's getting hot - hot - hot
It's getting hotter
And hotter
And hotter
And hotter
It's a meltdown
It's a meltdown
It's a meltdown
It's a meltdown
It's a meltdown - Gonna burn
It's a meltdown - I said burn, burn
It's a meltdown
Meltdown
Meltdown
It's a meltdown
It's a meltdown
