This is for a Zoom prompt about "ice" and "frying pan".

lyrics

[verse]
Do you remember? We were young
Burning bridges we could find
Counting days since that earthquake
Shook the hotel Venetian blinds

We used to listen to the radio
Wires hidden up our sleeves
Holding hands under the desk
Dreaming big with all it brings

[chorus]
We were foolish, we were young
Carving a path our own way
We were fearless, we were strong
Regent masters of our days

From the fire to the frying pan
We’ve always been a bit too nice
But I’d do it all again
Pop a bottle — I’ll bring the ice

[verse]
We no longer hold hands together
Too many bridges burnt just for fun
Counting earthquakes is just a habit
While we wait for the big one

We ruled for too long, my dear
And as all things, we should also pass
But I still remember those days
We had style, we had class

[chorus]
We were foolish, we were young
We were proud, we were vain
We were fearless, we were strong
Regent masters of our day

From the fire to the frying pan
We’ve always been a bit too nice
But I’d do it all again
Pop a bottle — I’ll bring the ice
