Lyric Lips Like Oranges

Factory by five, and as the morning hits,
she s working a double-split shift,
the bosses "Hope you don t mind"
in a hand-written note place in the lunchroom.
Leave Josie alone (you ve got to leave that girl alone).
She didn t ask for you.
Could she be sitting there longing for someone to take her home?
Her in the morning light; she switches off the night.

She s got such beautiful lips.
The 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!
José 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 god damn beers".
Paper-thin the walls between the lavatories,
the men s and the lady s.
Is that her name he calls?
She hears José rehearse some kind of song-like verse.

She s got such beautiful lips.
The 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...
