lyrics

My Backyard

Jane, Jane standing in the rain
Your dog got loose and the bank's in flames
Rain, rain I'm so sorry Jane
I can't talk smooth

To the cops when you knocked
On my door four in the morning
Gunpoint back of my head
I'm sorry I ever offered you by bed

Jane, Jane you said you'd take the next train
Instead you went looking for cocaine
And the rain sang sirens to your name
Just one place

For you to go, should have known
Should have bought you a ticket home
But you smiled at me when I said
I'm sorry I ever offered you my bed

Sunrise I don't mind you fire
As long as I can see the moon
But I'm locked in this cold room
Because of you

Jane, Jane standing in the rain
Your dog got loose and the bank's in flames
Rain, rain I'm so sorry Jane
I can't talk smooth

The fire died at half past five
By which time my wrists were tied
And the sky awoke from dreams of smoke
But the flowers in my backyard all bloomed
