3 Contributors Semi-Charmed Life Lyrics “Semi-Charmed Life” is originally a song by Third Eye Blind. The band recorded the song at the RTL2 Rock Pop Rock Studio in France after performing the song only once before in Baltimore, Maryland. [Refrain] 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 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [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 [Refrain] 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 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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? [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 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 [Chorus] 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 [Refrain] Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo [Outro: Stephan Jenkins] 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
