Hey Jane Lyrics

[Part 1]

Hey Jane, where you goin' today?
You took a car then you ran all day
That clock goin' 110
I never said I'd get you back again
Said "I ain't got time to make no mistakes"
"Ain't got time to waste my brakes"

Hey Jane, where you goin' today?
Lit a fire then you fanned the flame
They say you got a troubled soul
I say you got it on a roll
Said you ain't got time to change your ways
Ain't got time to make no mistakes with you
Show them what you can do

Hey Jane, where you goin' today?
Ain't got a love for you anyway
You get so tired of hanging around
I'll meet you there when you're coming down
Well you got good style and a little taste
Carved your name right into my face

Hey Jane, where you going today?
You broke my heart, then you ran away
Some say you've got a rotten soul
But I said, "Janey loves rock 'n' roll"
Said you ain't got time, you're a long-time dead
Ain't got time to mess my head with you
Show them what you can do
Hey Jane, where you goin' today?
You hit the fast lane right away
Got no breaks for your rotten life
A heart like yours is never satisfied
Said you ain't got time it's such a waste
You run so fast you get no place

Hey Jane, where you goin' today?
I'll get a car for you right away
That cop goin' 110
"Fast lane," Jane said, "fast lane, faster!"
Ain't got no time to make no mistakes
Ain't got time to waste my time with you

Hey Jane, where you goin' today?
Hey Jane, where you goin' today?
Hey Jane, where you goin' today?
Hey Jane, where you goin' today?

[Part 2]

Hey Jane, when you gonna die?
Live life like a butterfly
Feel safe, baby by your side
Cheat death on another ride
Hey Jane, where you gonna die?
You got wings like a butterfly
Meet death, baby, all alone
"Sweet Jane" on the radio

Hey Jane, when you gonna die?
That pain goes right inside
Hey Jane got a rotten soul
Hey Jane got it on a roll

Hey Jane, where you going today?
Sweet heart and fade away
Hey Jane, when you gonna die?
Hey Jane, when you gonna die?

Hey Jane, when you gonna die?
Hey Jane, when you gonna die?
Hey Jane, when you gonna die?
Hey Jane, when you gonna die?
