Janie rides to the hurting side of town
She got up once and she got let down
Well I spit up then they lie back down
She gets up and you come to her
With moistened lips
Your face is dry but your fingers drip
You've got a lot of nerve coming around here
Janie's mind does pirouettes inside
For a host of brokers who can't believe their eyes
She nails dirt under the fingers with her eyes
And then they charge out through the door
Into the night
Baptizing what they think is right
And washing down the dirt with all their might
You've got a lot of nerve coming around here
You've got a lot of nerve coming around here
There don't seem to be anyway
There don't seem to be a way
Left the flowers on the ground
You get pushed out of the way
Janie buys her fuel at the corner store
She steps over the whores outside her door
She has been a junk house fire into the sky
You want to ask but you really know why
And you think you can live while she dies
You've got a lot of nerve standing at my door
You've got a lot of nerve asking for more
You've got a lot of nerve coming around here
You've got a lot of nerve coming around here
