Hide Your Fires

We danced in diamond rain and supersonic winds We spooned beneath the Pillars of Creation The Kármán Line was crossed just fine whenever we took flight You left your knickers on the moon But we're never going back to the stars, I know We corrode, we implode but we can't let go We're never going back to the stars, I know, I know If this was twenty years ago, I'd do you here and now And twenty years ago, you might have let me But we're never going back to the stars, I know We corrode, we implode but we won't let go We're never going back to the stars, I know I know, I know, I know And all those old clothes that we wore The dresses and frocks that don't fit anymore The tight and torn jeans, the loud and bright blouses That sheer, loose top that always arouses The high heels and trainers, that slinky silk gown Donated to charities all across town So somebody, somewhere is wearing our past Dressed in a history soon to be cast But we're never going back to the stars, I know We corrode, we implode but we can't let go No, we're never going back to the stars, I know I know, I know The Pillars of Creation died millennia ago All that's left is snapshots of their wonder We could only cower from diamond showers, if we dared to go outside Our lungs would rupture on the moon But we're never going back to the stars, I know We corrode, we implode, we can't let go We're never going back to the stars, I know, I know
