Always thirsting for more
Like a moth to a flame
Bleeding yourself dry
For the fortune and fame
It's a far cry
From prom king and queen
Plaid shorts, striped polo
Summer 09, have we reached a plateau?
Feeling lost, boys
Never gonna grow old
With this Vampire State Of Mind
Go and take advice from the ones who rolled the dice
Insecurities fly over and out to the wayside
Those momentary highs make feel like you will never land
Plaid shorts, striped polo
Summer 09, have we reached a plateau?
Feeling lost, boys
Never gonna grow old
With this Vampire State Of Mind
The stakes, they rise
To reveal a reprise
Should be beaming with pride but still hooked on
A fictitious timeline, born under a bad sign
Always thirsting for more
Like a moth to a flame
Bleeding yourself dry
For the fortune and fame
Plaid shorts, striped polo
Summer 09, have we reached a plateau?
Feeling lost, boys
Never gonna grow old
With this Vampire State Of Mind"
