Rosita

Rosie, you keep on roll, roll, rolling me over
It's over, and then you want me back again, oh
Reminds me, I don't stand a snowball's chance in hell
When it comes to Rosie, Rosie, Rosie

Daisy says she got enough spirit to save me
From Rosie, whose daddy chased me 'round with a gun, yes he did, now
When he came to understand her boyfriend's playin' in a band
Lawdy, mama, lawdy, mama

Let me take you down to Mexico
In El Charrito there's a place I know, alright
Ros-eat-a-burrito
Down in El Charrito
I know Rosita from another time
The señorita was a friend of mine
But sometimes I see her in the woods
Hear her in the moonlight
Gonna take you on a magic ride
I'm in the garden, baby, right outside
Throwing rocks at your window
Monday till domingo
The door, it opened, but to my surprise
She hadn't been there in a thousand nights
Oh, why? I head into the woods
Meet me in the Moon-
Light, light
Light, light

Tell me, Rosita
Would you believe me
Words if I told you
It was always you?
Tell me I'm crazy
Fortune awaits me
When I paint me a lady
Just like you
Try me forever
Drown me in sin
Light as a feather
See her twirlin' in the wind

Tell me, Rosita
Would you believe my
Words if I told you
It was always you?
Intoxicate me
Sweet little baby
Exterminate me
When we're through

I met you in my sleep
It's a rendezvous of dreams
Are you out there somewhere, baby?
Are you even real?

I will stay asleep forever
I shall sacrifice my flesh and bones
But before I leave this earthly life
There's one thing I need to know

Can you even touch me?
Can you, my bonita?
Can you even touch me?
Can you, mamacita?
Can you even touch me?
Can you, my bonita?
Can you even touch me?
Can you, mamacita?

You know about that Super Bee I got
We could drive it to the parking lot
Heartbeat rumble
To the backseat shuffle
Tell your daddy 'cause he gonna say
Better get a job or stay away
From my daughter
You gotta find another
I don't want another
There is only one
I'm gonna find her alright (right)
I might search forever, I understand
Thoughts are one thing, baby
Words are another
Action gonna define
My affection for you, darling

Can you even touch me?
Can you, my bonita?
Can you even touch me?
Can you, mamacita?
Can you even touch me?
Can you, my bonita?
Can you even touch me?
Can you, mamacita?

I know you been waiting for a long time (woah)
Your tears, they kept the score (woah)
I'ma try to take you up the heavens
And redeem my wicked soul
You just tell me what you want
The Moon, the stars and mountains of gold
I'm gonna dedicate to you
The greatest story ever told
It ain't fit for reciting
It gets all the boys a-fighting, can't you hear me now?
Can't be bought, can't be sold
No, it's the greatest story ever told
Tragedy in the morning (woah)
Gonna wake me up and say (hey)
Ain't no use to spend your life inside
Wishing that you were dead
You gotta go right into town
Spend a little cash, yeah
'Cause the greatest story ever told
Ain't gonna find you in your bed
You better lock me up again
Defy the end with a bittersweet song from an old time friend
It's a-playin' in your mind
And it goes like this

Aw, man, I'm dead
I'm dead again
Oh, baby, I'm dead
I'm dead again
Tell me, how many times can a man die for his sins?
Oh, babe, I'm dead
I'm dead again
Oh, babe, I'm dead
I'm dead again
Tell me, how many times can a man die for his sins? Oh

Oh, babe, I'm dead
I'm dead again
Oh, babe, I'm dead
I'm dead again
Oh, babe, I'm dead
I'm dead again
Tell me, how many sins?

You don't walk the steps to Aphrodite's house in the clouds above
You'll be lifted up into the sky by the mighty power of love
Can you hear the sound of horns persuading from the deep now?
Light (Light) and color (color) make that organ weep

I said the mighty power of love
Mighty power of love
Can make your heart beat again
Can make your heart beat again
I said the mighty power of love
Can make your heart beat a lil' bit faster

I said the mighty power of love
Mighty power of love
Can make your heart beat again
Can make your heart beat again
I said the mighty power of love
Mighty power of love
Can make your heart beat again
Can make your heart beat again
I said the mighty power of love
Oh, the mighty power of love
Can make your heart start, make it come alive
Get the blood pumping into my hands
Into my veins
It makes me feel so good
Oh, yes, it makes me feel so good
But sometimes I just get so cold and lonesome I wanna cry
Oh, I cry
Oh, I cry
Oh, I cry
Cry
And then my sweet baby, she appears before me
Says she gotta make it stop

One of these days and it won't be long
You're gonna look around and find me gone
And this ol' circle will be broken
Eyes wide shut and a heart wide open
I know this world's so full of mystery
Schemes and dreams, fortune and fate and witchery
Oh, runes and riddles that go above my head
But tell me, sweet, sweet goddess of love and death

Can I feel you, touch you and see you again?
Promised me the world, gave me hell, now will you make it better?
'Fore this furnace of love smelts my heart into a dagger
Goddess of love and death
(Queen of space and time, tell me what can I do?)
Goddess of love and death
(Paint me a lady just like you)
Goddess of love and death
(Give me power, prowess and glory)
Goddess of love and death
Woah
Woah

Tell me, baby, can I be forever yours? Yeah

Forever yours
Forever yours
Forever yours

Tell me, Rosita
Would you believe my
Words if I told you
It was always you?
Intoxicate me
Sweet little baby
Exterminate me
When we're through

Tell me I'm crazy
Fortune awaits me
Paint me a lady
Just like you
Die for a maybe
I'd try for my baby
It'd be the gracious
Thing to do
Save me the drama
Oh, magic mama
Hush, little baby
Don't you weep
Will you be mine?
Queen of space and time
Till we meet again
In our sleep

Oh, baby, I'll see you again some day
A thousand years would be damn well worth the wait
But I got a feelin' in my bones that it won't be long
But not before I finish this ol' song
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
