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