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 You’re in the same exact place, breathing the same flavor of US 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 just 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 doppelgänger 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
