FLASH IN THE PAN

[Interlude]
I thought I was the next big thing but it turns out (Hmm)
I thought I was the next big thing but it turns out (I'm just a flash in the pan)
Have my mercy on the final things but it turns out (Hmm)
You get fifteen minutes (Fifteen minutes)
Then your fifteen minutes is up
And you're just a flash, a flash, in the pan

[Verse 1]
On the sick day of your sophomore slump
Lovely numbers, critical snug
Soft boys, betas, loved by mums
Dealers, famous and copy [?]
And post— post-pone get an old boy [?]
Nobody likes them, they're really being honest
I might end all the bad [?], order of the hottest
And open [?] told them [?]
[?] divas
Looks are more [?]
Hairline receding, oh boy you should've seen it
Back in 1993 coulda [?] the colour [?]
Career [?] weekend and when I go to see him
He's travelled in from Sweden
[?]
Disable [?] but the stage got some [?]
I know it feels mean, I can't help myself from feelin'
And one day I might be him
And I don't wanna be him (Huh)

[Refrain]
Thought I was the next big thing but it turned out (I'm just a flash in the pan)
Thought that I was so much better
S-S-S-So much better than that (I'm just a flash in the pan)
Thought that I was so new, thought that I was so, so, so true (I'm just a flash in the pan)
Oh yeah, thought I was one in a million, thought it was a matter of fact (I'm just—)

[Post-Refrain]
Fifteen minutes (Fifteen minutes)
And then my fifteen minutes were up
Oh, I got fifteen minutes (Fifteen minutes)
And then my fifteen minutes were up
Fifteen minutes (Fifteen minutes)
And then my fifteen minutes were up
Yeah, I'm just a flash, a flash in the pan
I'm just a flash in the pan

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
Woah, is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's just me
I'm flying so high, woo, lift the [?]
I'm collecting pebbles, learnt I should be pushing the car
Instead of being fooled by the rocks that I got, they're just rocks
Well, my friends they're having babies and they're getting their mortgage
I'm throwing pretty pictures, please put them on your fridge
Could be a gold star, talking god [?]
Tell me that I won't regret it since money [?]

[Bridge]
[?]
[?]
Ahh, [?] change my mind, ahh
[?] self-doubt
I'm just a flash in the pan
Thought that I was so much better, s-s-s-so much better
[?]
I'm not one of the chosen ones
I'm not one in a million
I'm just one of the billions
A long day stated I'd be [?] never to be overrated
Or loved by strangers on the pavement
They know your name and that feels amazing

[Outro]
Oh, I though I was the next big thing but it turns out
I'm just a flash in the pan
Have my mercy on all the final things but it turns out (Hmm)
I've got fifteen minutes (Fifteen minutes)
And then my fifteen minutes are up
And I'm just a flash, a flash, a flash in the pan
