Janie only cries when she drinks That's when she wakes up all the neighbourhood Leaves a trail of tears around her feet Janie says that she never knows But she's afraid of how it just comes and goes Afraid sh e'll lose her way on her own street But all the cops they know about her She's got so many friends around her That when she feels she's sinking down There's a thousand arms to bring her back around Janie says that she never sleeps She wears a red fur hat in the summer heat Leans her painted bike against your door Catch her when she goes for a walk She says it calms her down just to hear you talk You tell her things you've never said before Janie looks right into your eyes Says you must realize Not everything you think is true And the writing on the wall is there for you I know it's hard to see life so many ways You get caught up in the thick of it You don't know what you think of it One thing she told me is when you feel you're so confused You just wait until the moment passes Wait until the moment fades away But all the cops they know about her She's got so many friends around her That when she feels she's sinking down There's a thousand arms to bring her back around
