Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Jeane
The low life has lost it's appeal
And I'm tired of walkin' these streets
To a room with it's cupboards bare
[Verse 2]
Jeane
I'm not sure what happiness means
But I look in your eyes and I know
That it isn't there
[Verse 3]
Oh, we tried, and we failed
Oh, we tried, and we failed
Oh, we tried, we failed
Oh, we tried, we failed
We tried
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
Yet you still have that greedy grace
As you tidy the place
But it will never be clean
Jeane
[Verse 6]
We tried, and we failed
Oh, we tried, and we failed
Oh, we tried, we failed
We tried, we failed
Oh, we tried
[Verse 7]
Cash on the nail
It's just a fairytale
And I don't believe in magic anymore
Jeane
[Verse 8]
But I think you know
I really think you know
Oh, yes, I think you know the truth
Jeane
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
Oh, we tried, and we failed
Oh, we tried, and we failed
Oh, we tried, we failed
We tried, we failed
We tried
