Lyrics
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!)
