Jana Lane
Well I’m in the van in the middle of Jana Lane
I’m glad they finished her makeover
Just sitting in the turn lane of Jana lane
Not turning—but pondering what’s in a name
So much more than what we realize
Oh Jana Lane where do you go, I just don’t know
When will you dead end? I wanna see around your bend
You got a facelift and new friends
But you shouldn’t let them run over you like that
Oh Jana, Jana Lane, this is my heart I bear
Don’t you care? Oh it’s just not fair
Jana Lane should lead to Tucker’s Hardware
Sitting in the turn lane of Jana Lane
Not turning—lights shining into some rich guy’s house
With too many windows and not enough blinds
Oh he’s so proud of his perfect life
In his perfect bed, with his perfect wife,
Dreaming their perfect dreams, or so it seems
I wouldn’t want to wake them, oh no, And let them breathe
The bleached white collar of society’s standards
Starched stiff to choke—
Unrealistic, unremitted, unrequited expectations
I’ll never wear a tie, Cross my heart and hope to die
Oh I must get going down my Jana’s Lane (repeat chorus)
Oh Jana Lane where do you go, I just don't know
When will you dead end? I wanna see around your bend
You got a facelift and new friends
But you shouldn’t let them run over you like that
Oh Jana, Jana Lane, this is my heart I bear
Don’t you care? Oh it’s just not fair
Jana Lane should lead to Tucker’s Hardware
Oh no, tell me it’s not so
Where did you go my sweet Jana Lane
They swept you off your feet, And took you so far away
To the foreign land of nonexistence, Stolen from me
Oh it’s so lonely here without you, This can’t be true
How could they replace you with the greedy Space Center Blvd
I travel down this trail with nothing
But sharp scents and memories, carving a new hole in my soul
Where only the remains of you, My sweet Jana Lane still linger there
Oh ‘tis such a tragedy
Knowing that Jana lane will never lead to Tucker’s Hardware
Oh Jana Lane where did you go, I just don’t know
Is this the dead end? I never saw around your bend
You got a facelift and new friends
But you shouldn’t let them steal you away from me like that
Oh Jana, Jana Lane, this is my heart I bear
Don’t you care? Oh it’s just not fair
Oh I know it’s useless, But I still wish that somehow, someday
Jana Lane would lead to Tucker’s Hardware.
