[Intro]
Right outside
She was...

[Verse 1]
I was dancing alive
Dilating the eye
On the fourth of July
Rosalie
You were grieving a life
In the room above mine
The police were outside

[Pre-Chorus]
And I saw you wailing
Ooh, I saw you wailing
In the street (That boy, that boy)
Ooh, I saw you wailing
Ooh, I saw you wailing
Like that was me (That boy, that boy, ah-ha-ha)

[Chorus]
You are my mother, my father, my brother
You are my mother, my father, my brother
Ooh, Rosalie
I need to reach
A life outside my mind
[Break]
The cycle of life is a loop, my friend
I saw it on 98th at the housing across from Jake's place
She was holding him and he was watching her
Watch him, hold him

[Verse 3]
You were praying in light
Blue white in the night
Red mahogany
Rosary
I believe only sight and I see
That's Gabriel beneath, the white sheet
Like the holy ghost

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know we're sailing
I know we're sailing
Some place far from here
Ooh, I know we're sailing
When we bailing water weight
To keep the conscience clear
Oh my

[Chorus]
You are my mother, my father, my brother
You are my mother, my father, my brother
Ooh, Rosalie
I need to reach
A life outside my mind
You are my mother, my father, my brother
You are my mother, my father, my brother
Ooh, Rosalie
I need to reach
A life outside my mind
[Outro]
Last light above the water
When everybody looked the same
You were holding on my body
And my mother nearly gave me his name
Like a Trombley, or a Twombly
A tomb for him gone heaven way
Rosalie, what do I tell you?
Seems this hell the only place
