Jane Doe

Can I explain it?
It's not an easy thing to do
A cryptic fascination
Seems to get me through

A darkened stranger
Who left me full of doubt
She'd tell me that she loved me
Then the lights went out

Jane Doe, what was her name
Where did she go?
Jane Doe, she slipped away again
Does anybody know? Jane Doe

Platonic whisper
That makes me want to shout
Then she always disappears
Like a lady from a Barcly House

Who is this woman
Someone that I invent
I follow all night long
Like a bloodhound on a secret

Jane Doe, what was her name
Where did she go?
Jane Doe, she slopped away without a trace
I still don't know, Jane Doe

There's no fault, no blame
Love can twist the brain
This picture lost its frame
And John has lost his Jane

Jane Doe, what was her name
Where did she go?
Jane Doe, slipped away again
Does anybody know? Jane Doe

There's no fault, no blame
Love can twist the brain
This picture lost its frame
And John has lost his Jane
