He's eighteen and he wants to die
He wants some glory but the price is high
He sees the way out and wants to touch the sky
A star for today and a corpse for tomorrow
The media love him just for a day
That's all he needs to pave his way
His hours of glory should have been made to last
But it all ended in just one blast

I ain't ever been nothin'
I ain't ever 'ad nothin'
I ain't ever been nothin'
I ain't ever 'ad nothin'
Going up in a puff of smoke
Going up in a puff of smoke
I'm gonna go up in a puff of smoke
I wanna go up in a puff of smoke

I can see him villian, a noose around his neck
Making his grand finale, his farewell to us all
Why didn't he see a future?
Why no bridges left to cross?
Is all that existed in his mind
To be a star for just one day?
To reach the point of no return
After stardom for just one day
No turning back no after thoughts
Just a bullet in his chest

I ain't ever been nothin'
I ain't ever 'ad nothin'
I ain't ever been nothin'
I ain't ever 'ad nothin'
Going up in a puff of smoke
Going up in a puff of smoke
I'm gonna go up in a puff of smoke
I wanna go up in a puff of smoke

(going up in a puff of smoke

Going up in a puff of smoke
I'm gonna go up in a puff of smoke
I wanna go up in a puff of smoke [repeat 2x])

If I'm goin' out I'm takin' some of you fucks with me!
