Semi-Charmed Life Lyrics
[00:19.96] I'm packed and I'm holdin'
[00:21.12] I'm smilin', she's livin', she's golden
[00:22.66] She lives for me, says she lives for me
[00:25.23] Ovation, her own motivation
[00:27.72] She comes round and she goes down on me
[00:30.54] And I make her smile, like a drug for you
[00:32.70] Do ever what you wanna do, comin' over you
[00:35.40] Keep on smilin' what we go through
[00:37.31] One stop to the rhythm, that divides you
[00:39.83] And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
[00:42.34] Chop another line like a coda with a curse
[00:44.80] Come on like a freak show takes the stage
[00:46.89] We give them the games to play, she said
[00:49.08] I want somethin' else
[00:52.16] To get me through this
[00:54.51] Semi-charmed kinda life
[00:56.73] Baby, baby
[00:58.14] I want somethin' else
[01:01.46] I'm not listenin' when you say
[01:04.59] Goodbye
[01:09.00]
[01:16.49] The sky was gold, it was rose
[01:17.91] I was takin' sips of it through my nose
[01:19.90] And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
[01:22.27] Smilin' in the pictures you would take
[01:24.04] Doin' crystal meth, will lift you up until you break
[01:26.10] It won't stop, I won't come down
[01:27.79] I keep stock with the tick-tock rhythm
[01:29.73] I bump for the drop, and then I bumped up
[01:31.90] I took the hit that I was given, then I bumped again
[01:34.56] Then I bumped again, I said
[01:36.30] How do I get back there
[01:37.47] To the place where I fell asleep inside you?
[01:40.59] How do I get myself back to the place where you said
[01:45.15] I want somethin' else
[01:48.50] To get me through this
[01:51.01] Semi-charmed kinda life
[01:53.40] Baby, baby
[01:54.71] I want somethin' else
[01:57.83] I'm not listenin' when you say
[02:01.11] Goodbye
[02:04.34] I believe in the sand beneath my toes
[02:07.15] The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling
[02:09.50] I believe in the faith that grows
[02:11.93] And the four right chords can make me cry
[02:15.93] When I'm with you I feel like I could die
[02:18.55] And that would be alright, alright
[02:22.52] And when the plane came in, she said she was crashin'
[02:25.66] The velvet it rips in the city
[02:27.11] We tripped on the urge to feel alive
[02:30.19] Now I'm struggling to survive
[02:32.06] Those days you were wearing that velvet dress
[02:34.68] You're the priestess, I must confess
[02:36.80] Those little red panties they pass the test
[02:39.25] Slides up around the belly, face down on the mattress
[02:41.85] One
[02:43.85] And you hold me, and we're broken
[02:48.34] Still it's all that I wanna do, just a little now
[02:51.04] Feel myself, heavy on the ground
[02:54.08] I'm scared, I'm not comin' down
[02:57.54] No, no
[02:59.31] And I won't run for my life
[03:02.97] She's got her jaws now locked down in a smile
[03:05.42] But nothin' is alright, alright
[03:09.82] And I want somethin' else
[03:13.84] To get me through this life
[03:18.47] Baby, I want somethin' else
[03:23.27] Not listenin' when you say
[03:28.39] Goodbye
[03:33.09] Goodbye
[03:37.52] Goodbye
[03:42.33] Goodbye
[03:47.99]
[04:01.08] The sky was gold, it was rose
[04:02.79] I was takin' sips of it through my nose
[04:04.31] And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
[04:07.31] In the place we used to start
[04:11.69]
[04:16.17] I want somethin' else
[04:18.65]
[00:21.12] I'm smilin', she's livin', she's golden
[00:22.66] She lives for me, says she lives for me
