I'm sock-footed, sick and selfish
Holding strangers' hands
Eating riders, sliding on the floor
That looks like white crayons
Josephine, do you watch me?
Do you know what's coming?
I keep getting the feeling that I sold something
I wake up holding a nightmare
Remember nothing but the fear
I'm forgetting something, Josephine
Where are you, my dear?
I lost something, I sold it
I only remember the ache
And all I can sing about are the floorboards backstage
I give them teeth, I give them sound
Yeah, I'm consuming your hometown
They scream to ash, their chests bend down
I thought I saw you in the crowd
I'm waking up late
Just offended my idol
They ask me how I feel, they hand me title after title
Josephine, every success I get I think about your reaction
And I make myself more and more into a tourist attraction
'Cause in the end, I still feel the cut off thread
The little kid who doesn't know what she did wrong or said
I wonder if you know how much it fucked with me
Is that what you wanted, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine?
I give them teeth, I give them sound
Yeah, I'm consuming your hometown
They scream to ash, their chests bend down
I thought I saw you in the crowd
I'll be every news flash, every place
A blaring fever that won't break
On every screen, on every face
'Til we're both something neither of us can ever escape
(Josephine, Josephine, Josephine)
(Josephine, Josephine, Josephine)
(Josephine, Josephine, Josephine)
(Josephine, Josephine, Josephine)
(Josephine, Josephine, Josephine)
You're in the same exact place
Breathing the same flavor of U.S. air
The only thing changing is the color of your hair
And I'm flashing like a chameleon song after song
It's a form of begging something that I'm proving you wrong
I'm proving you wrong
I'm proving you wrong
Oh, please, please, please, please
I'm proving you wrong
I'm proving you wrong
I'm proving you wrong
Oh, please, please, please, please, please, please
I'm drinking everything I ever wanted like scotch
And, baby, baby, I'm gonna make you watch
I'm drinking everything I ever wanted like scotch
And, baby, baby, I'm gonna make you watch
I keep dreaming you're in that blue darkness
You're in that crowd of worms
You watch me get everything you don't think I deserve
I know you watch me, Josephine, I know that you do
I'll run in circles finding other ways to say "I miss you"
I miss you, Josephine, but I won't respond
Your call grows old as the lawn turns blonde
I saw your doppleganger in a fan at MSG
I found out what I sold as she looked up at me
I found out what I sold as she looked up at me
