"Josephine" lyrics - TORI AMOS

TORI AMOS
"Josephine"

Not tonight, Josephine
In an army's strength
Therein lies the denouement
From here you're haunting me

By the Seine, so beautiful
Only not to be of use
Impossible
I see balloons

So strange, victory
Twelve hundred spires
The only sound Moscow burning
Empty like the Tuileries

Like a dream, Vienna seems
Only not to be of use
Impossible
I see balloons

In the last extremity
To advance or not to advance
I hear you laughing
Even still you're calling me
Not tonight
Not tonight
Not tonight, Josephine
