Soldier Jane

[Verse 1]
No one cares what dress she wears alone
Tattered rags and paper bags and all
She's the one sleeping in today
Drag her down, don't let her drown in dirt

[Verse 2]
Lovers drag their canes across the gates
Gamblers light candles for the dice
No one wake her up, she's sleeping still
So put a candle on the window sill

[Chorus 1]
Soldier Jane, don't be afraid
Take your heart out of the shell
Take your heart out of the shell
Throw it away

[Verse 3]
Stars, they strike the darkness in the room
Knives, they take the poison from the wound
Cars, they drag us down into the ruins
Sweep our cares away with dirty brooms

[Chorus 2]
Soldier Jane, don't be afraid
Take your heart out of the shell
Take your heart out of the shell
Don't be afraid
