See the same old crowd again
Wash my hands and shake my feet
And yes I missed you all
Since I last saw you I fell down the rabbit hole
As I wonder what we'd be like
Wrapped up so uptight with you
Lust will do funny things
I don't want you to go out looking so good
And you look so good
Rosie, well I feel your love and I want you to agree to be
Still take your time but get to me, Rosie
She looked away as I mentioned my name
The streetlights light up my shame
The world will take you and swallow you whole
You're a big girl and I think that you already know
You've been bought and sold
Be careful with me
I see all that you see
And Troy died in a day for little Rosie
Rosie, well I feel your love and I want you to agree to be
Still take your time, roll your stone to me, Rosie
Gonna find you now I'll walk the beat
And you'll do me a pirouette in the street
And although we'll fall we'll find our feet
Rosie
Oh well I wanted you so easily
Illusions past and now I see
The image is so different to reality
Rosie
Oh Rosie
Wash my hands and shake my feet
And yes I missed you all
Since I last saw you I fell down the rabbit hole
Wrapped up so uptight with you
Lust will do funny things
I don't want you to go out looking so good
And you look so good
Still take your time but get to me, Rosie
The streetlights light up my shame
The world will take you and swallow you whole
You're a big girl and I think that you already know
You've been bought and sold
I see all that you see
And Troy died in a day for little Rosie
Still take your time, roll your stone to me, Rosie
And you'll do me a pirouette in the street
And although we'll fall we'll find our feet
Rosie
Illusions past and now I see
The image is so different to reality
Rosie
Oh Rosie

I have read a lot of comments about this song saying the song is about a prostitute named Rosie, i don't doubt it, maybe the person who wrote it had the intention to have that meaning but for me it's different.
For me, this song is about a guy who really wants to be with this girl but she doesn't care about him, she gives him mixed signals, she sometimes says "yes" to him and later she says "no"
Like when you like someone and she's giving you all the signals that she wants to be with you but in reality she does not wants to be with you. A girl who likes to have people dying to be with her and that's why she gives those mixed signals
"Rosie, Well I feel your love and I want you to agree To be, Still take your time but get to me Rosie"
Here, we can see that she does care about him, but she's not ready and he is willing to wait for her.
"She looked away as I mentioned my name The street lights light up my shame The world can take you and swallow you whole But you're a big girl and I think you already know You've been bought and sold"
For me, this part is about the guy wanting her to show her friends that he actually is going out with her, but she ignores him, she doesn't want her friends to know about them (because, as i said before, she wants everyone to die for her and if she says something about this guy this may scare the other guys away)
And as we can see, the guys knows it, and feels ashamed that he's there even though she's playing with him.
And, well, that's my interpretation :)
