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, 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 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 So slide up 'round 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 hovering 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 alright, alright [Chorus] And I want something else To get me through this life, baby I want something else Not listening when you say Goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye [Refrain] 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 taking sips up into my nose And I wish I could get back there, some place back there In the place we used to start our lives [Refrain] Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo (I want something else)

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 say, 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. 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 myth, 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 I was given, And I bumped again, And I bumped again. 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, All right, 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 want to do. Just a little now Feel myself a head made of the ground, I'm scared but I'm not coming down no no And I won't run for my life, She's got her jaws now locked down her in smile but nothing is all right, All right, And I want something else, To get me through this, life baby I want something else Not listening when you say Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye 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 used to start
