Jane: 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...Ahh...Ahh... Oh no soul, and no name And no story, what a shame
Cruel existence was only a shame? 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

Ooh...
Ooh...
Ahh...
Ahh...
And from the ground, beneath my feet
I hear the anguish of the street

CHOIR:
A choir never complete

JANE:

And like an old forgotten tune
A song that no one knows...
Forgot how it goes
Just John and me
Forever eternally, Jane Doe

JANE:
And I'm asking "why, lord?"
If this is how I die, lord
Why be left with no family
And no friends?

CHOIR:
Ooh

JANE:
I’ve got no celebration
Just this consolation
Time eats all his children
In the end

Ahhhhhhhh

A melody floats through the air
When silence falls, does no one care?

CHOIR:
Does anyone care?

JANE:
Another sad, forgotten tune
Another song that no one knows
So that's how it goes!
Just John and me
Forever eternally, Jane Doe

CHOIR:
And she's asking "why, lord?"

JANE:
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why...?

CHOIR:
"This is no way to die, lord!"

JANE:
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?

CHOIR:
No singing songs of celebration

Just this sorry speculation

JANE:
Like John I’ll be eternally
A forgotten name, some lost refrain
Just "Jane"
Jane...
Doe!

CHOIR:
A melody floats through the air
When silence falls, does no one care?
Jane
Doe
