St. Jane's Infirmary
deep in the heart of downtown nowhere
far from the arms of home
there in a door an angel waits
take ya in from the storm
under the broken neon sign
stutter a simple prayer
dear mother jane will take your confession
raise your glass to the air
every day it's the same old grind
in this shithole town
but every night it's the same old dive
that we all go down-
and we all go down
quickest way to heaven
yeah we all go down
st. Jane's infirmary
now jane was the child of a preacherman
saved from a world of sin
long were the days she served her maker
now she serves us our gin
she says work is a knife in a young man's heart
carving away his prime
sellin' his soul to the highest bidder
for another nail in the pine
she says come children, come as you are
I'll make ya feel all right
come children, I'll give ya hope
under the neon light
and we all go down
for the same affliction
yeah we all go down
st. Janes infirmary
and it's a carnival act
and every show is free
you get your tricks in the back
grab a fifth off the rack
and have a fix on me
and we'll all go down.
far from the arms of home
there in a door an angel waits
take ya in from the storm
under the broken neon sign
stutter a simple prayer
dear mother jane will take your confession
raise your glass to the air
every day it's the same old grind
in this shithole town
but every night it's the same old dive
that we all go down-
and we all go down
quickest way to heaven
yeah we all go down
