Semi-Charmed Life ’09

[Refrain]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo

[Verse 1]
I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling, she living, she golden
She lives for me, says she lives for me
Ovation, her own motivation
She comes 'round and she comes 'round on me
And I'll make you smile, it's like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do, I'm coming over you
Keep on smiling what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Said another line like a coda with a curse
I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give 'em the games she plays, she say

[Chorus]
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, a-baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Goodbye

[Refrain]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo

[Verse 2]
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips up into my nose
And I wish I could get back there, some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Stop to the rhythm, lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I won't come down, I keep stock
With a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, but took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again, I said

[Pre-Chorus 2]
How do I get back there
To the place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to
The place where you said

[Chorus]
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, a-baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Goodbye

[Bridge]
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you, I feel like I could die
And that would be alright, alright

[Verse 3]
When the plane came in, she said she was crashing
The velvet, it rips through the city
We tripped on the urge to feel alive
Now, I'm struggling to survive
Those days you were wearing that velvet dress
You're the priestess, I must confess
Those little red panties, they pass the test
Slides up around the belly, face down on the mattress one
And you hold me
And we are broken
Still it's all that I want to do, just a little now
Feel myself, head made of the ground
I'm scared, I'm not coming down
No, no
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws now locked down in a smile
But nothing is alright, alright

[Chorus]
And I want something else
To get me through this life, baby
Want something else
Not listening when you say
Hey, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, no-o-o, no
Goodbye

[Refrain]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

[Outro]
Sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips up into my nose
I wish I could get back there, some place back there (I want something else)
In the place we used to start

[Refrain]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo (I want something else)
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo (And I want something else)
