[Verse 1]
I heard that you were doing yoga
With Uma Thurman's mother
Just outside of Woodstock
Now you're watering all the flowers
You planted with your new girlfriend
Outside on the rooftop

[Pre-Chorus]
Just another phase you're rushing on through
Go all New Age, outrunning your blues

[Chorus]
Fifty gleaming chances in a row
Then I watch you flick them down like dominoes
Must feel good being Mr. Start-Again

[Verse 2]
I know
Know a girl who knows a
Another girl who knows the woman that you hurt
It's strange to see you smoking marijuana (Marijuana)
You used to do the most cocaine (Cocaine)
Of anyone I'd ever met

[Pre-Chorus]
Just another phase you're shooting on through
The whole world changes right around you

[Chorus]
You get fifty gleaming chances in a row
And I watch you flick them down like dominoes
Must feel good being Mr. Start-Again
Yeah, it must feel good being Mr. Start-Again (Don't get up)
Yeah, it must feel good being Mr. Start-Again

Lorde

Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor (b. November 7, 1996), better known by her stage name Lorde, is a pop star hailing from New Zealand. While her earlier music focused on criticizing fame and the “pop star” culture, she grew into it more with her second album while keeping the superb writing she’s known for.

She first became a figure on the international scene with her debut EP The Love Club but didn’t start to blow up until her song “Royals” reached #1 on charts worldwide, including the US. Her use of apt metaphors and allegories at just sixteen made her a revered and intriguing media figure.

Although she was initially written off as a one-hit-wonder, her top-ten second single “Team,” curation of The Hunger Mockingjay soundtrack, and her friendships with other A-listers like Taylor Swift have kept her in the spotlight, as well as general intrigue about new music.
