Song Lyrics

"Meltdown At Madame Tussaud s"

by Steve Taylor
Album: Now The Truth Can Be Told - Disc 1

Meltdown at Madame Tussaud's - the queen is losing face,
Meltdown at Madame Tussaud's - a national disgrace,
Oh, it's the middle of the night at the London shrine,
Could have been the janitor, could have been divine,
Someone said the thermostat never did work,
Now we've got the temperature going berserk.

We got a meltdown at Madame Tussaud's - the queen is losing face,
Meltdown at Madame Tussaud's - a national disgrace,
Celebrities, statesmen, history's elite; they're dripping in the hallways, they're starting to secrete,
They're pouring out the pores, they're shrinking on the spot,
Someone take a photograph, get 'em while they're hot.

Meltdown at Madame Tussaud's - the president looks alarmed,
Meltdown at Madame Tussaud's - a general's been disarmed,
They're feverish at Fleet Street,
Story of the year, "Get the Facts: House of Wax Photo Souvenir"
"Shameful," says the Times, "Maybe done by vandals,"
Panic on Wall Street; put your stock in candles.

I thought I heard a ghost say, "Had my hands in my pockets on the judgment day, Nobody told me there's fire in the hole; had the world by the tail but I lost my soul."

Meltdown at Madame Tussaud's - the rock
