It's not the pain I'm used to it
|
I'ts feeling like I'm already dead
|
I see from the ceiling a misty spirit
|
Rising from a place in my head
|
And I never even get to go down
|
Down in flames
|
|
I said friend you have a life to see
|
Why do you scare me so?
|
All the suffering's a mystery to me
|
I can't even pretend to know
|
So you'll never even get to go down
|
Down in flames
|
|
We had plans to explore the stars
|
Be rejected by stage door guards
|
Mining for gold as the time unreels
|
Not stifling behind suburban wheels
|
Not stifling behind suburban wheels
|
|
The plan was too burn up when the air was clear
|
We'd all wear our visors down
|
An arcwelder spark in the atmosphere
|
Not this man-sized hole in the ground
|
|
Now your father's face is frozen between anger and tears
|
Your mother's hair's amazingly gray
|
And I'm seeing these friends for the first time in years
|
It's icicle reunion day
|
|
And you never even got to go down
|
Down in flames
|
You never even got to go down
|
Down in flames.
