[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 20 years ago, I'd do you here and now
And 20 years ago, you might have let mе

[Refrain]
But we're nevеr 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
[Refrain]
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
