Semi-Charmed Life
Various Artists Lyrics

I'm packed and I'm holding
I am prepared and ready

I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden
I am happy, she is thriving, she is exceptional

She lives for me, says she lives for me
She exists for me, claims to exist for me

Ovation, her own motivation
Applause, her personal drive

She comes round and she goes down on me
She visits and performs oral sex on me

And I make her smile, like a drug for you
And I bring her joy, like a drug for you

Do ever what you wanna do, coming over you
Do whatever you desire, taking control over you

Keep on smiling, what we go through
Continue to smile despite the challenges we face

One stop to the rhythm that divides you
One pause to the beat that separates you

And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
And I communicate with you like the main part of a song to its section

Chop another line like a coda with a curse
Cut another line like a concluding section of a song with a curse

Come on like a freak show takes the stage
Arrive like an unusual spectacle takes the spotlight

We give them the games we play, she said...
We provide them the deceptive activities we engage in, she stated...

I want something else, to get me through this
I desire something different to help me cope with this

Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
Partially fortunate type of life, darling, darling

I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye
I want something different, I am not paying attention when you bid farewell

The sky was gold, it was rose
The sky had a golden hue, it appeared rosy

I was taking sips of it through my nose
I was inhaling it through my nose, as if sipping a drink

And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
And I desire to return to that location, somewhere in the past

Smiling in the pictures you would take
Smiling in the photographs you would capture

Doing crystal myth, will lift you up until you break
Using crystal methamphetamine, will elevate you until you collapse

It won't stop, I won't come down
It will not cease, I will not descend

I keep stock with the tick-tock rhythm, I bump for the drop
I maintain a supply with the rhythmic ticking, I am excited for the climax

And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
And then I elevated my dosage, I consumed the drug I was offered

Then I bumped again, then I bumped again
Then I elevated my dosage once more, then I elevated my dosage once more

I said...
I declared...

How do I get back there, to the place where I fell asleep inside you
How can I return to the location where I drifted off to sleep while being intimate with you

How do I get myself back to the place where you said...
How can I return myself to the location where you stated...

I believe in the sand beneath my toes
I have faith in the sand under my feet

The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling
The beach provides a sensation, a grounding sensation

I believe in the faith that grows
I have faith in the belief that expands

And the four right chords can make me cry
And the four correct musical notes can bring tears to my eyes

When I'm with you I feel like I could die
When I am with you, I feel intensely alive

And that would be all right, all right
And that would be perfectly acceptable, perfectly acceptable

And when the plane came in, she said she was crashing
And when the influence of drugs arrived, she claimed she was losing control

The velvet it rips in the city, we tripped on the urge to feel alive
The pleasure and excitement deteriorate in the city, we stumbled upon the desire to feel alive

Now I'm struggling to survive, those days you were wearing that velvet dress
Now I am battling to survive, recalling the days when you wore that velvet dress

You're the priestess, I must confess
You are the symbolic female religious leader, I must admit

Those little red panties they pass the test
Those small red underwear meet the requirements

Slide up around the belly, face down on the mattress
Move upwards on the stomach, lying facedown on the bed

One
One

And you hold me, and we're broken
And you embrace me, and we are damaged

Still it's all that I wanna do, just a little now
Still, it is all that I desire to do, just a bit presently

Feel myself, head made of the ground
Experience myself, my head composed of the earth

I'm scared, I'm not coming down
I am afraid, I am not descending

No, no
No, no

And I won't run for my life
And I will not flee for my existence

She's got her jaws now, locked down in a smile
She has her jaws at this moment, firmly holding a smile

But nothing is all right, all right
But nothing is satisfactory, satisfactory

And I want something else, to get me through this life
And I desire something different to help me navigate through this life

Baby, I want something else
Darling, I want something different

Not listening when you say...
Not paying attention when you state...

Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Farewell, farewell, farewell

Good-bye
Farewell

The sky was gold, it was rose
The sky had a golden hue, it appeared rosy

I was taking sips of it through my nose
I was inhaling it through my nose, as if sipping a drink

And I wish I could get back there
And I desire to return to that location

Someplace back there, in the place we used to start
Somewhere in the past, in the location where we began

I want something else
I want something different
