Nobody knows where she came from

She was everybody's lover and everybody's

Former friend

With all the known variatiions

Her story gets told again and again



She was probably born in Hollywood

In the era of the King

Hitchedhiked Highway 61 and got elected Queen

She ended up on Bleeker St.

Down in the underground



Somebody said that she was sweet

And the story got around



The Famous Jane

When we've forgotten all the details

They'll still remember the name



We met for the first time in fiction

We saw Jane run-run Jane run

Now Jane has become an addiction

Jane's gotten serious and she carries a gun



They talk about her purity

They talk about her grace

They talk about her standing on the corner

With an electric violin case

Then suddenly she disappeared

But she'll be back again

With a brand new face and circumstance

And a whole new batch of friends

Meanwhile the rumors circulate

And the story never ends

For the Famous Jane
