Our Daily Reminders

Zita Swoon

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
