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