Mary Jane

Alanis Morissette · Original Album Series [2012]

What's the matter, Mary Jane?

Had a hard day

As you place the "Don't disturb" sign on the door

You lost your place in line again, what a pity

You never seem to want to dance any more



It's a long way down

On this roller coaster

The last chance streetcar

Went off the track

And you're on it



I hear you're counting sheep again, Mary Jane

What's the point of tryin' to dream any more?

I hear you're losing weight again, Mary Jane

Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for?



Well, it's full speed, baby

In the wrong direction

There's a few more bruises

If that's the way

You insist on heading



Please be honest, Mary Jane

Are you happy?

Please, don't censor your tears



You're the sweet crusader

And you're on your way

You're the last great innocent

And that's why I love you



So take this moment, Mary Jane, and be selfish

Worry not about the cars that go by

'Cause all that matters, Mary Jane, is your freedom

So, keep warm, my dear

Keep dry...



Tell me

Tell me

What's the matter, Mary Jane?

Tell me

Tell me

Please be honest, Mary Jane

Tell me...
