Lyrics:
Verse 1:
She said “I am Rosie†I said I thought you were Lucy
She said “No Rosie I told you so
Was here with you sister but she was gone when I got back
I was up dancin for fun y™know
Of all the shitty little places I meet you it™s here
And now I™m freaking out
I heard you got a brand new name selling E™s in the dark
But hey it™s nothing to shout about
Bridge:
Don™t just say yes to tease me
Do your up most to please me
I don™t mean to be sleazy
Being you can™t be easy
Chorus:
When you™re creepin' up the backstairs
Mother™s nightmares
Falling in the front door, my, my
Climbing in the window
Get dressed let™s go
Take your brother™s car keys, bye, bye
Verse 2:
Well I see your yellow fingers and your crucifix bones
All covered in cellophane
Was there when yer best friend said sweetheart
I™m just here to get drunk again
I wouldn™t move if I was you
I wouldn™t want to get caught when the lights go out
She said you think you™re so special I said
“Sunshine I™m just bored I™m just checking outâ€
