Speak up let out caught in the crossfire
Compared to the step to the bone that might break
It's too late to find a better way out of this
With the finest regards that I lost in the cracks of this street

Sweet Josephine will you follow me home
Scream loud, scream sayonara
Sweet Josephine will you fuck me back home
