Doo-doo-doo,
doo-do-do-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-do-do-doo,
Doo-doo-doo, doo-do-do-doo, doo-doo-doo
I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden
She lives for me,
Said she lives for me
Ovation -
Her own motivation -
She comes round and she goes down on me.
And I make her smile
Like a drug for you;
Do ever what you wanna do
Coming over you,
Keep on smiling what we go through -
One stop to the rhythm that divides you.
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse,
Come on like a freak show takes the stage,
We give them the games we play, she said:
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby,
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye
Doo-doo-doo,
doo-do-do-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-do-do-doo,
Doo-doo-doo, doo-do-do-doo, doo-doo-doo
The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth
Will 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
I took the hit that I was given
And I bumped again
Then I bumped again - you said:
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:
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby,
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye
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 all right
Alright
And when the plane came in
She said she was crashing.
The velvet it rips
In the city we tripped
On the urge to feel alive
But 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
Slide up around the belly
Face down on the mattress
One...
And you hold me,
And we're broken,.
Still it's all that I wanna do
Just a little now
Feel myself half feet
off 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 all right
Alright
I want something else
To get me through this
Life, baby,
I want something else
Not listening when you say
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye.....
Doo-doo-doo,
doo-do-do-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-do-do-doo,
Doo-doo-doo, doo-do-do-doo, doo-doo-doo
The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
In the place where you used to star....
Doo-doo-doo,
doo-do-do-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-do-do-doo,
I want something else
