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
