Lyrics [1]
Jeane The low-life has lost its appeal And I'm tired of walking these streets To a room with its cupboard bare Jeane I'm not sure what happiness means But I look in your eyes And I know That it isn't there
We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried
Jeane There's ice on the sink where we bathe So how can you call this home When you know it's a grave? But you still hold the reedy grace As you tidy the place But it will never be clean Jeane
We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried
Cash on the nail It's just a fairy tale And I don't believe in magic anymore Jeane But I think you know I really think you know I think you know the truth Jeane
No heavenly choirs Not for me and not for you Because I think that you know I really think you know I think you know the truth Jeane
That we tried and we failed That we tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed Oh Jeane
