" Josephina "   EllisNash 2010

V1
You look so good tonight, Hanging round in silver threads,
Sweet pale skin and I, cant resist this opening,
They pull back the curtain, you're no thousand-camera shy,
confidently, let go of everything and cry.

Chorus
Can you taste the after show champagne , Josephina,
After all the years of trying, night after night,
All that you believe, the constant theatre, Josephina,
Can you speak the words scripted now, without breaking down.

V2
The crowd they gasp in awe, at the actress draped in grey,
Playing the high class hoare, She blew them all away,
But they couldnt know the score, the reality of the day,
That when Josephina bowed, her life had begun this way

Chorus
Can you taste the after show champagne , Josephina,
After all the years of trying, night after night,
All that you believe, the constant theatre, Josephina,
Can you speak the words scripted now, without breaking down.

Mid 8
Where do you go tonight ?
Who will take you in ?
Another lost girl on the brink,
Draped across a life of sin,
The dirty room, The dirty life,
the dress all soaked in gin.
The dress all soaked in sin.

Chorus
Can you taste the after show champagne , Josephina,
After all the years of trying, night after night,
All that you believe, the constant theatre, Josephina,
Can you speak the words scripted now, without breaking down.
How can all the years have passed away, dear Josephina,
I remember how you were back then, sweet young child,
The facade' you wear at night belies the signs, Why Why Josephina ?
Can i be the man who pulls you round ? Take the girl out of the town.
Walk away , walk away............... Josephina,
You are so much better than this, I can help you turn around....
