Mary Jane Lyrics

Lyrics by Alanis Morissette; music by Glen Ballard and Alanis Morissette 

What's the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day 
As you place the don't disturb sign on the door 
You lost your place in line again, what a pity 
You never seem to want to dance anymore 

It's a long way down 
On this roller coaster 
The last chance streetcar 
Went off the track 
And you're on it 

I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane 
What's the point of trying to dream anymore 
I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane 
Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for 

Well it's full speed baby 
In the wrong direction 
There's a few more bruises 
If that's the way 
You insist on heading 

Please be honest Mary Jane 
Are you happy 
Please don't censor your tears 

You're the sweet crusader 
And you're on your way 
You're the last great innocent 
And that's why I love you 

So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish 
Worry not about the cars that go by 
All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom 
Keep warm my dear, keep dry 

Tell me 
Tell me 
What's the matter Mary Jane...
