Ah er, I gotta find Jane Er, I gotta find Jane
A world of pain, it was surreal A precious stone, it's not a part of me
Within hours and days I was running scared
Oh, I gotta see Jane Oh, I gotta see Jane
Red light, green light Going through the car parks Soaring through the town and rain I gotta see Jane
Window wiper, splishes splashes Tearing down the highway I gotta see Jane
A town of steel That is surreal That cannot feel It's not a part of me
I've gotta find what I left behind
Carers, cursors, [ ], censors, [ ] Call out my name I gotta see Jane
A town of steel That could not feel It was surreal It's not a part of me
I've gotta find what I left behind
Woah, I gotta see Jane Woah, I gotta see Jane
To find a way To leave the world Outside is cold And left my heart inside
I've gotta find what I left behind
But out of there I was running scared
Red light, green light Going through the dark night Going through the town and rain I gotta see Jane
Window wiper, splishing splashing Going up the high insane I gotta see Jane
I left her arms To [ ] reach It's [ ] It's not a part of me
I've gotta find what I left behind
