lyrics

JACK & JANE

Jack works at a drugstore, he’s an artist, and he wants to be free
Jane thinks he’s an example of how the gifted ones abuse their liberty
And if he’s so damn smart, she says, why can’t he get a more respectable job
He says because the thieves run free and good men die like dogs

And she says
Every time you speak
You’re gonna ease the pain all night
And if you go away
Oh, nothing will ever be right

I said ooh, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
That’s the way it goes

Jack he never wasted time thinkin’ past the age of twenty-four
Looks around his apartment and says man I thought there would be so much more
Jane says she will love Jack forever and ever no matter what he is
She knows what’s inside and she thinks he’d be great with kids

And she says
Every time you speak
You’re gonna ease the pain all night
And if you go away
Oh, nothing will ever be right

I said ooh, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
That’s the way it goes

But Jane ran away with another guy
Jack never expected it and she didn’t say why
She only said Jack I didn’t ask for this
But he made me feel good and I liked how he kissed
Jane’s in another man’s arms, it’s hell this way
He thinks she forgot him but it could be no other way
Jack doesn’t want to get older and wise
He’d like to live forever but he can’t live a lie

Jack strolled into work, you know he was thirty minutes late
The door had been unlocked and his boss had opened the gate
And he said why does a young man like you test fate?
And why in the world would you think that you’re great?
You throw away all the things that you must contemplate
They’re the only things that have any weight
Jack will get older and things will change
And his love for Jane will seem quite strange
And maybe one night she’ll appear in the rain
But she’ll never be able to ease the pain

She says
Every time you speak
You’re gonna ease the pain all night
But I had to go away
Oh, and nothing will ever be right

I said ooh, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
That’s the way it goes

I said ooh, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
That’s the way it goes
