Josephine, Josephine, do you know what I mean
When I say that our time's run out?
The water's turned off and the house has been bought
I guess we should head on back South
Where there's no rain, no flowers
It's been raining for hours
When will the blooming begin?
No pain, no power on the 11th hour
And the lights are all flickering

Monday morning's coming up, I think I've had too much
I guess we should have our last dance
You told me and told me when you bought and sold me
You would not forgive me if I wouldn't take the chance
Where there's no rain, no flowers
It's been raining for hours
When will the blooming begin?
If there's no pain, no power on the 11th hour
And the lights are all flickering
But the hand on the clock ain't got nowhere to go
Taking out the drag, maybe you'll go slower
And give us more time to say our goodbyes
Then it's back to the garden again
Where there's no rain, no flowers
It's been raining for hours
When will the blooming begin?
If there's no pain, no power on the 11th hour
And the lights are all flickering
Where there's no rain, no flowers
It's been raining for hours
When will the blooming begin?
If there's no pain, no power on the 11th hour
And the lights are all flickering
And the hand on the clock keeps ticking
