Semi-Charmed Life

Stephan Douglas Jenkins

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me
Says 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 want to 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 goodbye

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

The sky 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
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again

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 goodbye

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
And when I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right, all right
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 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 all right, all right

And I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby
I want something else
Not listening when you say goodbye
Goodbye goodbye
Goodbye

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

The sky 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 we would start out lives
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
