Josephine Lyrics

Josephine lyrics

Felt I was back with the pirates and cats of my sommerville

The girl in the alphabet shirt covered in dirt lives on the hill



Well, my sweet Josephine,

Are you still racing stray dogs

Across the old stream?

My neighborhood queen,

Are you still kissing cowboys that cry, Josephine?



She stole, my grandmother's watch, a treasure to touch

To keep time to herself

Her mind, was a very big house, we got lost there for hours

Until August fell.



Well, my sweet Josephine

Are you still racing stray dogs

Across the old stream?

My neighborhood queen,

Are you still kissing cowboys that cry, Josephine?



You say you're alright, but Josie it's time

You gotta get your feet on the ground

But she says: "No, don't you see we have wings?

It's the funniest thing, it's just that no one knows."

No one knows, sweet Josephine...



Well, my sweet Josephine

Are you still racing stray dogs

Across the old stream?

My neighborhood queen,

Are you still kissing cowboys that cry, Josephine?



My neighborhood queen,

Are you still kissing cowboys that cry, Josephine?
