I don't think by the molecules falling they are actually exerting any energy. They are falling on the borrowed energy of gravity. In a zero gravity environment however, I suppose the desk would appear to be solid until you touched it. And then it would move because you transfered the energy of the motion of your hand to the dead molecules. Not bringing them to life perse but instead bumping them into each other causing a wave like effect.
...But then that's just a guess.
