Stephanie Says
Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why she's given half her life to people she hates now
Stephanie says - Stephanie says
When answering the phone - answering the phone
What country shall I say is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die
The people all call her Alaska
Between worlds, so the people ask her
Cos it's all in her mind, it's all in her mind

Stephanie says - Stephanie says
That she wants to know - she wants to know
Why it is, though she's the door, she can't be the room 
Stephanie says - Stephanie says
But doesn't hang up the phone - hang up the phone
What sea she'll say is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die
The people all call her Alaska
Between worlds, so the people ask her
Cos it's all in her mind, it's all in her mind

They asking is it good or bad
It's such an icy feeling
It's so cold in Alaska - Stephanie says
It's so cold in Alaska - Stephanie says
It's so cold in Alaska - Stephanie says

Sweet Jane
Standin' on a corner
Suitcase in my hand
Jack's in his corset, Jane is in her vest
And me I'm in a rock 'n' roll band, huh
Riding a Stutz Bear Cat, Jim
Ya know, those were different times
All the poets studied rules of verse 
And those ladies they rolled their eyes

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Now Jack, he is a banker
And Jane, she's a clerk
And both of them save their monies
When they get home from work
Sittin downby the fire
Ooo, the radio does play
The classical music there, Jim
The March of the Wooden Soldiers
All you protest kids
You can hear Jack say

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Some people they like to go out dancin
And other people they have to work, just watch me now
And there's even some evil mothers
Well there gonna tell you that everthing is just dirt
You know that women never really faint
And that villians always blink their eyes
That children are the only ones who blush
And that life is just to die
But anyone who ever had a heart
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
They wouldn't turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane, Sweet Sweet Jane
