Crazy Jane and the Kid
He passed them every morning on the way to his ivory tower
Never paid them much notice too busy climbing the corporate ladder
Crazy Jane and some beat up kid who couldn't fall any lower
They messed up the local ambience he thought I'll just cross over
And these streets of Vancouver were never paved with gold
Just a needle and a dirty blanket try to cover up from the cold
Jane had been a singer she almost made it big
She sang at the Commodore Ballroom once back in '76
But a John hit her once too hard one night left her head all broken
And she lived like a rat out on the street with never another word spoken
And these streets of Vancouver were never paved with gold
Just judgement and condemnation man its no place for the old
The Kid came from Ft. McMurray where he lost a job and gained a habit
Man its a long way from those big rolls of cash and those nights with the old white rabbit
Well you do what you got to do to try and get your fix
Just don't think too much about it kid but ain't it strange how some people get their kicks
And these streets of Vancouver were never paved with gold
Just a needle and a dirty blanket try to cover up from the cold
He didn't see them on the street one morning on his way to his ivory tower
Crazy Jane and the beat up kid who couldn't fall any lower
He thought well thats improved the ambience I wonder what I'll have for dinner
And he never knew how they froze to death its been such a damn cold winter
Never paid them much notice too busy climbing the corporate ladder
Crazy Jane and some beat up kid who couldn't fall any lower
They messed up the local ambience he thought I'll just cross over
And these streets of Vancouver were never paved with gold
Just a needle and a dirty blanket try to cover up from the cold
Jane had been a singer she almost made it big
She sang at the Commodore Ballroom once back in '76
But a John hit her once too hard one night left her head all broken
And she lived like a rat out on the street with never another word spoken
And these streets of Vancouver were never paved with gold
Just judgement and condemnation man its no place for the old
The Kid came from Ft. McMurray where he lost a job and gained a habit
Man its a long way from those big rolls of cash and those nights with the old white rabbit
Well you do what you got to do to try and get your fix
Just don't think too much about it kid but ain't it strange how some people get their kicks
And these streets of Vancouver were never paved with gold
Just a needle and a dirty blanket try to cover up from the cold
He didn't see them on the street one morning on his way to his ivory tower
Crazy Jane and the beat up kid who couldn't fall any lower
He thought well thats improved the ambience I wonder what I'll have for dinner
And he never knew how they froze to death its been such a damn cold winter
