1000 Arms

Janie only cries when she drinks

That's when she wakes up all the neighbourhood

Leaves a trail of tears around her feet

Janie says that she never knows

But she's afraid of how it just comes and goes

Afraid sh e'll lose her way on her own street

But all the cops they know about her

She's got so many friends around her

That when she feels she's sinking down

There's a thousand arms to bring her back around

Janie says that she never sleeps

She wears a red fur hat in the summer heat

Leans her painted bike against your door

Catch her when she goes for a walk

She says it calms her down just to hear you talk

You tell her things you've never said before

Janie looks right into your eyes

Says you must realize

Not everything you think is true

And the writing on the wall is there for you

I know it's hard to see life so many ways

You get caught up in the thick of it

You don't know what you think of it

One thing she told me is when you feel you're so confused

You just wait until the moment passes

Wait until the moment fades away

But all the cops they know about her

She's got so many friends around her

That when she feels she's sinking down

There's a thousand arms to bring her back around
