[Verse 1]
My dead ones are living,
My selfish are giving,
Free men walk my prison,
My demons in heaven.
I don’t speak without your words in my mouth,
I need you right now.

[Verse 2]
Placebo,
I need you,
To need me,
Believe me,
My blood’s thin like water,
You thicken this water.
I can’t speak without your words in my mouth,
I need you right now.

[Chorus 1]
You translate so I can understand
What it means to be a better man
Rosetta, Rosetta

[Verse 3]
The temple I lived in
Is distant, disappearin'
My sins wanderin' lost
In this forest of your's
I'm nothin' without
Your words in my mouth
I need ya right now

[Chorus 2]
You translate so I can understand
What it means to be a better man
Rosetta, Rosetta

[Chorus 3]
You translate so I can understand
What it means to be a better man
Rosetta, Rosetta

[Break]
I left roses on Rosetta's doorstep

[Outro]
I left roses on Rosetta's doorstep
(Do you even know my name, Rosetta?)
I left roses on Rosetta's doorstep
(Roses, roses, baby, roses, yeah)
You're my Rosetta stone.
You're my Rosetta stone.
So, I wanna take you home, baby.
