Factory by five and as the morning hits
She's working a double-split shift
The boss says 'Hope you don't mind'
In a hand-written note placed in the lunchroom
Leave Josie alone
(You've got to leave that girl alone)
She did not ask for you
Could she be sitting there longing
For someone to take her home?
Her in the morning light, she switches off the light
She's got such beautiful lips
They call like oranges to the thirsty man
Break time intermits
He wants to say it but he don't know if he can
Oh just to know her light
Jose sees Josephine, and he wants to call her Josie
He wants to say, "Josie, are you alright?
I've watched you fifteen years
Bottling those goddamn beers"
Paper-thin the walls
Between the lavatories
The men's and the lady's
Is that her name he calls?
She hears Jose rehearse some kind of song-like verse
She's got such beautiful lips
They call like oranges to the thirsty man
Break time intermits
He wants to say it but he don't know if he can
I guess I was wondering
What you were doing on the weekend
I've got tickets to this show
It's free you know and
