Josie she crazed at the toystore

She cried for her little balloon

Be home before your memories

Before they make you blue

Josie she fished in the ocean

She caught her political charm

Before going back to the valley

She crawled over the stars



Josie took off her pullover

She said now you're under my spell

The Monday sky came over

We drove her car around



Oh Josie, you must stay, my true love!

But Josie don't stand in my way

Anymore

When I'm tracing the man that I am

And I'm chasing the woman you are

Through our daily misconceptions



Josie spoke about the Pacific

I said: "I'm not going that far

I guess I'm scared of leaving

So you must never part"

Oh Josie the fear in the lover you caught

It stands for the whole of the life that you robbed

And you're facing the man that I am

And I'm facing the woman you are

Through our daily misconceptions



She said: "Call me up when you're crying

But don't leave me standing alone"

And Josie she howls like a wolfman

When we strut on our middle-class trones



We're crazy for a little bit of scorn

We stab us in the backs and off we go



She said: "Hey man

You'll have to protect me"

I said: "Shut up girl,

You shouldn't talk back"

We know there are lies all around us

But still we neglect them

They will all soon unfold

When we're facing the man that I am

And we're facing the woman you are

Through our daily misconceptions
