Josie's House Lyrics - Singles - Jupiter Sunrise

I went out the door this morning 

Walked along the concrete cracked and aged by elements 

That don't discriminate and don't give warning 

And I walked alone 

I went up to 16th Street and looked into the windows of a restaurant 

The guy standing next to me said it looked pretty good 

So I proceeded to give him a bunch of reasons 

Why I didn't think the place could make it and he said 

I think too much 

And I said, I know 

I know my world is better than it seems 

And I try to be content with everything 

But even knowing doesn't stop your heart from feeling 

That's why I'm going where I'm going 

Going down, going down, down to Josie's house 

And that's where I'll play 

Going down, going down, down to Josie's house 

And that's where I'll stay 

I decided I'd be happier if only I could feel the cool 

Wet grass beneath my feet 

And I had tried it while I thought of all the words 

To make this song complete 

I went up to John St Park and there I met an old lady feeding ducks 

The back of her hand had been bleeding and she didn't even know it 

She told me I'd be more handsome if I smiled 

So we talked about the weather, she told me about her family and 

She said I should meet her grand daughter 

And I smiled 

I know my world is better than it seems 

And I try to be content with everything 

But even knowing doesn't stop your heart from feeling 

That's why I'm going where I'm going 

Going down, going down, down to Josie's house 

And that's where I'll play 

Going down, going down, down to Josie's house 

And that's where I'll stay 

The smell of people in the street 

I tasted life and life was sweet 

The sound of colors in the air of breathing mist and choral fare 

Arriving anywhere in time, the feet are beating out a rhyme 

I turned my body toward the south, I'm going down to Josie's house 

Going down, going down, down to Josie's house 

And that's where I'll play 

Going down, going down, down to Josie's house 

And that's where I'll stay 

Going down, going down, down to Josie's house 

Going down, going down, down to Josie's house 

Going down, going down, down to Josie's house
