Beck Lyrics
"Soldier Jane"

no one cares what dress she wears at all
tattered rags and paper bags and all
she's the one sleeping in the dirt
drag her down don't let her drown in dirt

lovers drag their canes across the gates
gamblers light candles for the days
no one wake her up she's sleeping still
so put a candle on her windowsill

soldier jane
don't be afraid
take your heart out of the shell
take your heart out of the shell
don't throw it away

stars they strike the darkness from a room
knives they take the poison from the wound
cars they drive us down into the ruins
sweep away our cares away with dirty brooms

soldier jane
don't be afraid
take your heart out of the shell
take your heart out of the shell
don't be afraid
