[Verse 1]

I'm feeling on top of the world

I'm feeling like I can't do wrong

I'm thinking, "Everything is fine"

I'm caught up in the smoke and the mirrors

People that you think are your friends

Might be the people that want to drag you down

You've got to look out for yourself tonight

Don't get lost in the smoke and mirrors

[Pre-Chorus]

Line after line

Time after time

[Chorus]

It's the same old sad story

He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind

It's the same old sad story

He's lost

[Verse 2]

I'm tripping; I'm over the edge

I'm falling, and I got no wings

I'm praying I'll make it through tonight

I'm caught up in the smoke and the mirrors

I'm living in a prison cell

I'm strung out in downtown hell

I'm looking for myself tonight

I got lost in the smoke and mirrors

[Pre-Chorus]

Line after line

Time after time

[Chorus]

It's the same old sad story

He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind

It's the same old sad story

He is lost

[Bridge]

This is an SOS (This is an SOS)

This is an SOS (This is an SOS)

This is an SOS (This is an SOS)

Yeah

[Chorus]

It's the same old sad story

He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind

It's the same old sad story

He's lost, he's out of his fucking mind

Out of his mind, doing that time

Walking a line, doing that time

[Outro]

This is an SOS (This is an SOS)

This is an SOS (This is an SOS)

This is an SOS (This is an SOS)

Yeah
