Been trying to get to you
That's not what you want me to do
You're in the thrill of it all
Where you land is where you fall

You feel the pull and the sting
Down with that same old thing
You're getting ready to burn
Oh no you will never learn

You're back in a mess
You've really hurt yourself
Yourself and everyone else
Who have to pick up the pieces
You're straight back in a mess
Your head and all of the rest
Who did you think you'd impress?
As all your vanity crashes

21st century blues
You overload and you lose
The lights are flashing for you
You just don't know what to do

You're back in a mess
You've really hurt yourself
Yourself and everyone else
Who have to pick up the pieces
You're straight back in a mess
Your head and all of the rest
Who did you think you'd impress?
As all your vanity crashes

Soon there'll be nobody left
To swallow all your regret
Someday you will cross that line
And it could be the next time

I'm trying to get to you
That's not what you want me to do
You're in the thrill of it all
Where you land is where you fall

You're back in a mess
You've really hurt yourself
Yourself and everyone else
Who have to pick up the pieces
Straight back in a mess
Your head and all of the rest
Who did you think you'd impress?
As all your vanity crashes
