The Ballad of Jane Doe

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-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ah-ah
 ♪
 Ahh-ahh-ah
 Oh, no soul, and no name
 And no story, what a shame
 Cruel existence was only a sham
 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-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ah-ahh
 ♪
 Ahh-ah-ah
 And from the ground, beneath my feet
 I hear the anguish of the street
 (A choir never complete)
 And like an old forgotten tune
 A song that no one knows
 Forgot how it goes
 Just John and me
 Forever eternally, Jane Doe
 ♪
 And I'm askin', "Why, Lord?
 If this is how I die, Lord
 Why be left with no family
 And no friends?" (Ooh)
 I've got no celebration
 Just this consolation
 Time eats all these children in the end
 ♪
 A melody floats through the air
 When silence falls, does no one care?
 (Does anyone care?)
 Another sad, forgotten tune
 Another song that no one knows
 So that's how it goes
 Just John and me
 Forever eternally, Jane Doe
 And she's askin', "Why, Lord?" (Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?)
 "This is no way to die, Lord!" (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?
 No singing songs of celebration
 Just this sorry speculation
 Like John, I'll be eternally
 A forgotten name, some lost refrain
 Just "Jane"
 ♪
 Jane
 ♪
 Doe
 (A melody floats through the air)
 (When silence falls, does no one care?)
 (Jane)
 (Doe)
