Dreamt 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 neighbourhood 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 neighbourhood queen
Are you still kissing cowboys that cry
Josephine
You say you're allright but Josie it's time
You gotta get your feet on the ground
But she says No dont 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 neighbourhood queen
Are you still kissing cowboys that cry
Josephine
My neighbourhood queen
Are you still kissing cowboys that cry
Josephine
