I dreamt I was back
with pirates and cats in my Somerville
A girl in the alphabet shirt covered in dirt lives on the hill
Well,
my sweet Josephine Are you still racing straight ox 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
Oh well,
my sweet Josephine Are you still racing straight ox 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 straight ox 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?
