Lyrics:
(Intro)
Doo-Doo-Doo, Doo-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's smiling, she's living, 
she's golden and she lives me says she lives for me, Ovation, Whoa  
motivation, she comes round and she goes down on me And It'll make you 
smile like a drug for you, Do ever what you wanna do comin' 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 the coda with the curse..comin' like a freak show 
takes the stage. We give in the games she plays she says:

(Chorus)
 I want something else..to get me through this...Semi-Charmed Kinda 
Life..Baby, baby, I want somethin' else..I'm not listenin' when you 
say Good-Bye...
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 takin' sips of it through my nose 
in hopes I could get back there, someplace, back there smilin' 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 the 
tick-tock ryhthm and a bump for the drop, And then I bumped up..I took 
the hit that I was given then I bumped again, then I bumped again and 
said-

(Bridge 1)
How do I get back there to the place where I feel 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 Kinda 
Life..Baby, baby, I want somethin' else..I'm not listenin' when you 
say Good-Bye...

(Bridge 2)
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 
(Chorus)

 And I want something else..to get me through this...Life..Baby, I 
want somethin' else..not listenin' when you say 
....Good-Bye...Good-Bye....Good-Byeeeee.....GOOD-BYE! 
Doo-Doo-Doo, Doo-Doo Doo Doo, Doo Doo Doo, Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo-Doo-Doo, Doo-Doo Doo Doo, 

(Outro)
The sky was gold, it was rose I was takin' sips of it through my nose 
in hopes I could get back there, someplace, back there...in the place 
we used to star....I..I..I...I..!
Doo-Doo-Doo, Doo-Doo Doo Doo, Doo Doo Doo, Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo-Doo-Doo, Doo-Doo Doo Doo,
(Background Vocals-I want somethin' Else)
