So sorry, missed the party
Hello, on the dark side of the moon
Jane lost it, crashed her Corvette
Ran into the tide in Malibu
And we all heard the gun
But I was slow to run
It's just the melting of the sun
(It's just the sun)
I wanna watch you watch it burn
(So watch it burn)
Saint Joni ain't no phony
Smoking Reds where Furry sang the blues
My Marilyn shot her heroin
"Hell," she said, "It's better than abuse"
So who am I tryna be?
A benzo beauty queen?
It's just the melting of the sun
(It's just the sun)
I wanna watch you watch it burn
(So watch it burn)
We always knew this day would come
(The day has come)
It's just the melting of the sun
(Sun, sun, sun)
Brave Tori told her story
Police said they couldn't catch the man
And proud Nina got subpoenaed
Singing, "Mississippi, good goddamn"
But me, I never cried
To tell the truth, I lied
Girl, the world's spinning 'round
Spinning down and out of time
Girl, you can't give in now
When you're down, down and out
Girl, the world's spinning 'round
Spinning down and out of time
Girl, you can't give in now
When you're down, down and out
Hello, on the dark side of the moon

Testo e musica di Annie Clark (St. Vincent)
Dal nuovo album "Daddy's Home" una canzone che rende tributo a donne del monde dello spettacolo e della canzone che hanno condotto importanti battaglie e che sono spesso state osteggiate, in quanto donne e in quanto anticonformiste e impegnate. Vengono citate Jayne Mansfield, attrice di successo che parlava cinque lingue, suonava violino e pianoforte ma che viene ricordata per le sue foto provocanti su playboy e per la sua tragica morte, Joni Mitchell, Marylin Monroe, Tori Amos che ha avuto il coraggio di denunciare la violenza subita nella canzone Me and a Gun, e la grande Nina Simone a partire dalla sua prima e più celebre canzone di protesta, Mississippi Goddam.
The Melting of the Sun, la fusione del sole è un processo lunghissimo che impiega circa 10 miliardi di anni per esaurirsi, è quindi presa come simbolo di immortalità, ma anche dell'inevitabilità del progresso per quanto i tempi possano essere lunghissimi.
