Soldier Jane Songtext / Lyric

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 the window sill






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 in the room

Knives, they take the poison from the wound

Cars, they drive us down into the ruins

And sweep 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
