Ride The Cyclone Original Offbroadway Cast - The Ballad Of Jane Doe Lyrics

[The Ballad of Jane Doe pt. 1]

[JANE ]
Some might say we're released
Pushing daisies, deceased
But we all know the worms must be fed

There's just one lingering fear
Oh my soul, is it here ?
Or is it rotting somewhere with my head?

[JANE]
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Oh my soul

Ooh...
Ooh...
Ahh...
Ahh... ah

Oh no soul, and no name
And no story , what a shame
Cruel existence was only a sham?


Oh Saint Peter, let me in!
You must know where I've been
Won't you tell me at last who I am ?

Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am

Ooh...
Ooh...
Ahh...
Ahh... ah

[The Ballad of Jane Doe pt. 2]

And from the ground, beneath my feet
I hear the anguish of the street

[CHOIR]
A choir never complete

[JANE]
And like an old forgotten tune
A song that no one knows...
Forgot how it goes
Just John and me
Forever eternally, Jane Doe


[The Ballad of Jane Doe pt. 3]

[JANE]
And I'm asking "why, lord?"
If this is how I die, lord
Why be left with no family
And no friends?

[CHOIR]
Ooh

[JANE]
I’ve got no celebration
Just this consolation
Time eats all his children
In the end

(arpeggio riffing)
Ahhhhhhhh

A melody floats through the air
When silence falls, does no one care?

[CHOIR]
Does anyone care?


[JANE]
Another sad, forgotten tune
Another song that no one knows
So that's how it goes !
Just John and me
Forever eternally, Jane Doe

[CHOIR]
And she's asking "why, lord?"

[JANE]
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why...?

[CHOIR]
"This is no way to die, lord!"

[JANE]
No one to sing, no one to sigh
Now that all is said and done
Isn’t there anyone to tell me who I am ?

[CHOIR (JANE)]
No singing songs of celebration
(Ah ah ah ah)
Just this sorry speculation
(Aah ahh)

[JANE]
Like John I’ll be eternally
A forgotten name, some lost refrain
Just "Jane"
Jane...
Doe!

[CHOIR]
A melody floats through the air
When silence falls, does no one care?
Jane
Doe
