I said friend you have a life to see
Why do you want to scare me so?
All this 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

The plan was to burn up where 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
