The Ballad of Jane Doe

Some might say we're released Pushing daisies, deceased But we all know the worms must be fed There's just one lingering fear Oh my soul, is it here? Or is it rotting somewhere with my head? Oh my soul, oh my soul *Oh my soul, oh my soul) Ooh, ooh, ooh Ahh, ahhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhh, ahhhh, ahhh, ahh Oh no soul, and no name And no story, what a shame Cruel existence was only a sham Oh Saint Peter, let me in You must know where I've been Won't you tell me at last who I am? (Who I am) Who I am, who I am (Who I am, who I am) Ooh, ooh Ahh, ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhh, ahh, ah, ooohh And from the ground, beneath my feet I hear the anguish of the street (A choir never complete) And like an old forgotten tune A song that no one knows Forgot how it goes Just John and me Forever eternally, Jane Doe And I'm askin', "Why, Lord?" (Why Lord?) If this is how I die, Lord Why be left with no family and no friends? (Oooooooh) I've got no celebration (Just this consolation) Time eats all his children in the end Ah, ahh A melody floats through the air When silence falls, does no one care? (Does anyone care?) Another sad, forgotten tune Another song that no one knows So that's how it goes Just John and me Forever eternally, Jane Doe (And she's askin', "Why, Lord?") Why, oh why, oh why, oh why? (This is no way to die, Lord!) No one to sing, no one to sigh Now that all is said and done Isn't there anyone to tell me who I am? (Oooooh) (No singin' songs of celebraaation) Ahh, ahh, ahhh, ahhhhhh, ahhh, ahh (Just this sorry speculaaation) Like John I'll be eternally A forgotten name, some lost refrain Just Jane Jane Doe (A melody floats through the air) (When silence falls, does no one care?) (Jane Doe!)
