Down In Flames

Down In Flames - Semisonic

It's not the pain I'm used to it

It's 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 wanna 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

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 arc welder 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

You never even got to go down

Down in flames

You never you never

You never even got to go

Down in flames
