Jeane The low-life has lost its appeal And I'm tired of walking these streets To a room with its cupboard bare Jeane I'm not sure what happiness is But I look in your eyes And I know that it isn't there We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried 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 But you still hope for ridding grace As you tidy the place But it will never be clean, Jeane No heavenly choirs Not for me and not for you Because I think that you know I really think you know I think you know the truth, Jeane We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried 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, you know the truth, Jeane We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried Oh, Jeane
