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 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 ones 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?
