The Famous Jane

Nobody knows where she came from

She was everybody's lover and everybody's

Former friend

With all the known variations

Her story gets told again and again

She was probably born in Hollywood

In the era of the King

Hitched hiked Highway 61 and got elected Queen

She ended up on Bleeker St.

Down in the underground

Somebody said that she was sweet

And the story got around

The Famous Jane

When we've forgotten all the details

They'll still remember the name

We met for the first time in fiction

We saw Jane run-run Jane run

Now Jane has become an addiction

Jane's gotten serious and she carries a gun

They talk about her purity

They talk about her grace

They talk about her standing on the corner

With an electric violin case

Then suddenly she disappeared

But she'll be back again

With a brand new face and circumstance

And a whole new batch of friends

Meanwhile the rumors circulate

And the story never ends

For the Famous Jane
