Lyrics of Starman by MGK
[Intro: Mgk]
Yeah, I’m Terrified Of How I’m Gonna Look When I’m Old
I Can’t Even See You, ’cause The Room’s Full Of Smoke
I Don’t Wake Up Until The Sun Gets Low
Seven Billion People, But We All Die Alone, So
[Chorus: Mgk]
I Want Something Else To Get Me Through This
Semi-charmed Kind Of Life
Baby, Baby, I Want Something Else
I’m Not Listenin’ When You Say Goodbye-e-e-e
[Verse 1: Mgk]
Said She Wanna See The Real Me, So I’m Standing Naked
Tryna Understand Who I Am, So Overrated
We Can Get Close, Touch Lips, Have Conversation
From The Midwest, But We Need Californication
(Californication, Uh-uh)
[Pre-chorus: Mgk]
I Been Up For Day-ay-ay-ays
Cuttin’ Up The Yay-ay-ay-ay
Rollin’ Up The Flay-ay-ay-ay
That’s A Three-way-ay-ay-ay
[Chorus: Mgk]
I Want Something Else To Get Me Through This
Semi-charmed Kind Of Life
Baby, Baby, I Want Something Else
I’m Not Listenin’ When You Say Goodbye-e-e-e
[Post-chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
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 2: Mgk]
I Can Count The Hours And The Minutes That It’s Been Without You
Take A Heart And Break It, If You Wanna Know, I’ll Show You How To
You’re Not Here In Person, So All I Can Do Is Sing About You
I Be Hearing Rumors From The People That You Keep Around You, Uh
And Yeah, I Know Your Friends Don’t Like Me
And You’re Unlikely To Think I Could Change
’cause You Know I’m Born Hopeless
Love On The Brain, But It Came From The Doses
[Pre-chorus: Mgk]
I Been Up For Day-ay-ay-ays
Cuttin’ Up The Yay-ay-ay-ay
Rollin’ Up The Flay-ay-ay-ay
That’s A Three-way-ay-ay-ay
[Chorus: Mgk]
I Want Something Else To Get Me Through This
Semi-charmed Kind Of Life
Baby, Baby, I Want Something Else
I’m Not Listenin’ When You Say Goodbye-e-e-e
[Post-chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
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
[Bridge: Mgk & Stephan Jenkins]
And These Four Chords Can Make Me Cry
(Doo-doo-doo, Doo-doo-doo-doo)
When I’m With You, I Feel Like I Could Die
(Doo-doo-doo, Doo-doo-doo-doo)
And That Would Be Alright, Alright
(Doo-doo-doo, Doo-doo-doo-doo)
[Outro: Mgk]
I’m In The Wrong Place, Wrong Planet, Oh
Wrong Place, Wrong Planet, Oh
Run Away, Keep Running, Yeah
Run Away, Keep Running, Oh
Wrong Place, Wrong Planet, Oh
Wrong Place, Wrong Planet, Oh
Run Away, Keep Running, Oh-oh-oh
