[Verse 1]
Death rains softly from her eyes, diamonds through her veins
Chrysalis to butterfly, stitched-together wings
"La-la-la," sings suicide, perfume in the air
She shines black, too beautiful, the pig and butcher man don't care
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on to the end of the rope
Hold on to the end of the rope
Another one gone
Another one gone
And on and on and on
[Chorus]
Josephine, you got to trade, live for tomorrow
Josephine, you've been to your head, drawn on the line, dead on arrival
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Oh, oh)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
Scars so deep with cold surprise, she says, "Touch them," and you must
The rock will roll away in time and oceans turn to dust
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on to the end of the rope
Hold on to the end of the rope
Another one gone
Another one gone
And on and on and on
[Chorus]
Josephine, you got to trade, live for tomorrow
Josephine, you've been to your head, drawn on the line, dead on arrival
Josephine, Josephine, you've got to trade, live for tomorrow
Josephine, you've been to your head, drawn on the line, dead on arrival
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on to the end of the rope
Hold on to the end of the rope
Another one gone
Another one gone
And on and on and on
[Chorus]
Josephine, you got to trade, live for tomorrow
Josephine, you've been to your head, drawn on the line, dead on arrival
Josephine, Josephine, you got to trade, live for tomorrow
Josephine, you've been to your head, drawn on the line, dead on arrival
[Outro]
Josephine, Josephine, you've got to trade
Josephine, you've been to your head, drawn on the line, dead on arrival
