Jeane

[Verse 1]

Jeane

The low-life has lost its appeal

And I'm tired of walking these streets

To a room with its cupboards bare

Jeane

I'm not sure what happiness means

But I look in your eyes

And I know that it isn't there

[Chorus]

We tried and we failed

We tried and we failed

We tried and we failed

We tried and we failed

We tried

[Verse 2]

Oh, Jeane

There's ice on the sink where we bathe

So how can you call this a home

When you know it's a grave?

Yet you still have that greedy grace

As you tidy the place

But it will never be clean, Jeane

[Chorus]

We tried and we failed

We tried and we failed

We tried and we failed, we tried and we failed

We tried

[Verse 3]

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

Oh yes, I think you know the truth, Jeane

[Verse 4]

(No-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

No heavenly choirs

Not for me and not for you

Because I think you know

I really think you know

I think you know the truth, oh, Jeane

[Chorus]

Oh, we tried, we failed

We tried and we failed

We tried and we failed

We tried and we failed

We tried
