The Ballad of Jane Doe/Meet Jane Doe Lyrics
[CONSTANCE- Speaking]
I’m so happy right now, I can never come down!
[JANE DOE – Speaking]
My turn
[CONSTANCE- Speaking]
Aw man!
[KARNAK]
Jane Doe, the one unidentified body of the Cyclone rollercoaster disaster
(JANE DOE PUSHES LEVER)
[KARNAK]
Everyone knew everyone at Uranium. But no one could recall this member of the choir
There were rumors of a girl who joined at the last minute. But as the choir conductor, father Marcus died of a heart attack, there was no one to verify
Some believe she was never actually in the choir at all. I never read her fortune, I sadly cannot tell you
All one knows for certain, is that a body was found in a St. Cassian uniform, without a head
So, a mystery
[JANE DOE]
Some might say we’re released
Pushing daises 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?
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
[CHOIR]
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ahh ah ah
[JANE DOE]
Ooh..
Ooh..
Ahh..
Ahh..
Ah
[CHOIR]
Ooh..
Ooh..
[JANE DOE]
Oh no soul, and no name
And no story, what a shame
Cruel existence was only a sham
Oh St. 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
[CHOIR]
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ahh ah ah
[JANE DOE]
Ooh..
Ooh..
Ahh..
Ahh..
Ah
(JANE AND THE CHOIR RAISE THEIR HAND IN UNISON, CHOIR IS BEHNID WTH BLACK CLOTHING AND UMBRELLAS.)
[JANE DOE]
And from the ground beneath my feet
I hear the anguish of the street
[CHOIR]
A choir never complete
[JANE DOE]
And like an old forgotten tune
A song that no one knows
Forgot how it goes
Just John and me
Forever eternally, Jane Doe
(JANE DOE RISES)
[JANE DOE]
And I’m asking, “why lord?”
[CHOIR]
Why lord!
[JANE DOE]
Is this the way to die lord?
[CHOIR]
Die lord!
[JANE DOE]
Why be left with no family and no friends?
[CHOIR]
Ooh..
[JANE DOE]
I’ve got no celebration
Just this consolation
Time eats all his children in the end
[CHOIR]
Celebration!
Consolation!
[JANE DOE]
Ah..
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
A melody floats through the air
When silence falls, does no one care?
[CHOIR]
Does anyone care?
[JANE DOE]
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 DOE]
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
Ahh..
[CHOIR]
Is this the way to die lord?
[JANE DOE]
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]
Ooh..
No singing songs of celebration
Just this sorry speculation
[JANE DOE]
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?
(MELODY MIMICKS THE SOUND OF “Jane Doe”)
[JANE DOE]
*Inhale*
