Oh Josephine Lyrics
Diamonds hold mirrors
And the spoon it holds the stars
It's been a long time baby
Since I've seen the sun rise like this
Make a wish and call it "Maybe"
And give me one more kiss
Ooh, I like it like this
Ooh, I like it like this
Oh Josephine
You're dressed in black
Oh Josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
There's no turning back
Oh Josephine
What will we do?
It's the dreaming through the come down
Still filling every tape
Come on and touch me baby
Before I turn to rust
I know there ain't no other
It's not a matter of trust
It's just sometimes love ain't enough
No, love ain't enough
Oh Josephine
You're dressed in black
Oh Josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
There's no turning back
Oh Josephine
What will we do?
For a while I was kneeling in tears and powder
For a spell I was strung out beyond my means
Well I lost that love while climbing down the ladder
Just looking for the song to set me free
Waited for redemption
No leaving love behind
You've got to know where you wanna be
It gets cold outside
It's too late to play it safe
So let's let it all ride
Yeah, let's let it all ride
Let it all ride!
Oh Josephine
You're dressed in black
Oh Josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
There's no turning back
Oh Josephine
What will we do?
Yeah yeah!
Oh Josephine
I know you're dressed in black
Oh Josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
That there's no turning back
Oh Josephine
What will we do?
And the spoon it holds the stars
It's been a long time baby
Since I've seen the sun rise like this
Make a wish and call it "Maybe"
And give me one more kiss
Ooh, I like it like this
Ooh, I like it like this
You're dressed in black
Oh Josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
There's no turning back
Oh Josephine
What will we do?
Still filling every tape
Come on and touch me baby
Before I turn to rust
I know there ain't no other
It's not a matter of trust
It's just sometimes love ain't enough
No, love ain't enough
You're dressed in black
Oh Josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
There's no turning back
Oh Josephine
What will we do?
For a spell I was strung out beyond my means
Well I lost that love while climbing down the ladder
Just looking for the song to set me free
No leaving love behind
You've got to know where you wanna be
It gets cold outside
It's too late to play it safe
So let's let it all ride
Yeah, let's let it all ride
Let it all ride!
You're dressed in black
Oh Josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
There's no turning back
Oh Josephine
What will we do?
I know you're dressed in black
Oh Josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
That there's no turning back
Oh Josephine

Its a song about the battle of drug abuse...Jospephine is the drug whatever it may be..you're dressed in black, you're eyes are blue refers to the quality, and what will we do? signifies that he is out of control and conversing with the drug that is putting him through the ups and downs of all 3 verses the first is telling of the experience while he is high, give me one more kiss i like it like this..the second verse is the come down and the realization of his drug problem hes at the point where hes undecided of whether hes going to use again and the 3rd verse is his breakthrough and putting his feet back on solid ground from coming down the ladder of being high... a true master "PEACE!"
