Rosetta
- Tex Beaumont & the Dirty Hearts

What are you trying to tell me baby?
What are you trying to tell me baby?
What are you trying to tell me baby?
What are you trying to tell me?
I can't understand a single word you're trying to say
I can't understand a single word you're trying to say

Do you want me to take you out tonight?
Do you want me to leave you alone?
Baby, be specific
Don't talk in heiroglyphics
I can't understand you without a Rosetta Stone

So what are you trying to tell me baby?
What are you trying to tell me baby?
What are you trying to tell me baby?
What are you trying to tell me?
I can't understand a single word you're trying to say
I can't understand a single word you're trying to say

You say one thing but you mean another
Are you talking in some kind of code?
But cryptography baby ain't my bag
So should I stay or hit the road?
So should I stay or hit the road?
So should I stay or hit the road?
So should I stay or hit the road?

What are you trying to tell me baby?
What are you trying to tell me baby?
What are you trying to tell me baby?
What are you trying to tell me?
I can't understand a single word you're trying to say
I can't understand a single word you're trying to say

Rosetta
(AKA the song about a chick pothead who repeats the same phrase a lot in her frequent tokin' circles, which the NSA mistakes for terrorist activity)
by Inflatable Shoe Tax

INTRO (Thank you, Multibabel):
Why you prend moved distant absentee I? I you mett in the reasoning of the argument you I cancel. For this relation of transformation you delete I, who you threaten of grad.

VERSE
I know you're.. upset
with the leak,
but she hardly kept it a secret!
(The daily meetings up in her room
where she's speaking in code).
Well, surprise! Her cover's blown!
Because ever-everybody knows, Rosetta's stoned.

Every night, she sits in circles under a black light
toking till she thinks that she can fly
(with duct tape stuck to the doorway).
While the cannabis gets the best of her,
all mom smells is air freshener outside

CHORUS
Rosetta's stoned
Rosetta's stoned
and focused on narrow domains
ingeminating the same phrase in different ways
Rosetta's stoned
Rosetta's stoned
The NSA has tapped her home
but that chatter is just, one chapter of Rosetta...stoned.
(take'er away)

ABDUCTION SOLO
(We're hearin' chatter in Rosetta's house again. I'm reelin' her in)

CHORUS bite
Ever-everybody knows Rosetta's stoned

VERSE
Some say she's nuts.
Some say it's her destiny.
I need a guide, and maybe a little weed
to help me understand
what Rosetta's got goin' on in her head.
If she doesn't cooperate
she's goin' to Guantanamo
where ever-everybody knows Rosetta's stoned
yeah, where ever-everybody knows, Rosetta's stoned

(ouch)

Rosetta by Popular Electronics.

Words by j$. Everythin' else by Puce.


I know a girl who's called Rosetta
Her mental state it could be better
She gets aroused by Tom Verlaine
Klaatu, Rin Tin Tin and Hitler's brain

More-ish like the Marujana
She's more corrupt than Tijuana
And even worse for my poor kharma
Than watching all of Greg and Dharma

I know a girl called Rosetta
I love a girl called Rosetta
I need a girl called Rosetta
My evil curse, to the letter

But I can't leave her alone
So Rosetta let's get stoned

She thinks I'm not that bright
Sad for me, i think she's right
Rosetta let's get stoned
Turn the lights out there's no-one home
