Semi-Charmed Life (I Want Something Else) ’09

Lyrics

[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 [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, someplace 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 I 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, no Goodbye [Outro] Sky was gold, it was rose I was taking sips up into my nose I wish I could get back there, someplace back there (I want something else) In the place we used to start (I want something else) (And I want something else)
