Rosie, Rosie, she loved me better
Like the night loves me better than you
Loves to love you in black, black leather
Love to love you in Prussian blue
Rosie, Rosie, she loves me better
Every night loves me better than you
Taste the velvet and touch her leather
Take me outside and turn me in two
♪
The satellite stars parading at dawn
Your sails are torn, the line's been undrawn
Your harlot hand is better unborn
Your terrible eyes are terribly worn
Rosie, Rosie you're done with living
Every night's living better than you
On the outside you're unforgiving
But on the line, girl, it's terribly true
Tell me, tell me I loved you better
Than the night loves you better than me
Take the rope down and write that letter
All your demons are better off free
♪
I'll side with you if you side with me too
We'll bury our friends and turn them in two
The satellite stars parading at dawn
Your sails are torn, the line's been undrawn
Your harlot hand is better unborn

The shallower graves that house your friends
Lights down the river and shines to the end
The hollow eyes that house your dreams
Float way down river, don't follow the screams
The shallower graves, the shallower graves
Float way down river and choose who we save
The shallower graves, the shallower graves
Float way down river and choose who we save
The shallower graves, the shallower graves
Float way down river and choose who we save
The shallower graves, the shallower graves
Float way down river and choose who we save
The shallower graves, the shallower graves
Float way down river and choose who we save
