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 yknow
Of all the shitty little places I meet you its here
And now Im freaking out
I heard you got a brand new name selling Es in the dark
But hey its nothing to shout about
Bridge:
Dont just say yes to tease me
Do your up most to please me
I dont mean to be sleazy
Being you cant be easy
Chorus:
When youre creepin' up the backstairs
Mothers nightmares
Falling in the front door, my, my
Climbing in the window
Get dressed lets go
Take your brothers 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
Im just here to get drunk again
I wouldnt move if I was you
I wouldnt want to get caught when the lights go out
She said you think youre so special I said
Sunshine Im just bored Im just checking out
