Over ten years of school
Over one-hundred G to boot
In debt to everyone and everybody
But for all that’s gone and spent
You’d do it all over again
To become the RN you became
On call from dusk ‘til dawn
The hospital will rest for none
Doctors quick to let you know what you ain’t
But for every patient you see to
Recovery to funeral
They praise your name as a saint
And they cry
And ask why, and ask why, and ask why
-
Chorus
Oh Jane
I heard you saved the world
And they say you’re gonna do it again
Call my name
When ya ain’t so sure
I’ll help ya make a stand
-
Only if the daycare stayed open
Until sundown or even ten
This overcast anxiety wouldn’t be
But you can’t let the personal
Affect your work and who you help
This ain’t the place to bring the outside in the building
The show must go on
The pain must be treated
Chemo to coffee, ER to cardstore
Ain’t really got nothin’ but time
Your company is more than fine
We’ll make it last until we have to say
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
-
Chorus
Oh Jane
I heard you saved the world
And they say you’re gonna do it again
Call my name
When ya ain’t so sure
I’ll help ya make a stand
Oh Jane
I heard you saved the world
And they say you’re gonna do it again
Can’t complain
When life ain’t so sure
To have someone like you in the end
-
This city doesn’t have a halo
It has a cloud
And we never had tomorrow
All we got is right now
Can you do what the meds can’t do?
Day to day to clinical to clinical…
Can you do what the meds can’t do?
Give some comfort to this life that’s almost through
Chorus
