Hide Your Fires

[Verse 1]

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

[Refrain]

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

[Verse 2]

If this was twenty years ago, I'd do you here and now

And twenty years ago, you might havе let me

[Refrain]

But we'rе 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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Outro]

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
