Album: Live at the New Earth

She's got her eye on the wind
She resents her own skin
She wants to fly
She's got a bend in her mind
She treats herself so unkind
She don't know why.

CHORUS
Innocent Jane
She's got an innocent name
But in the still of the night,
or in the heat of the light,
she'll confess to you
that everybody's guilty
she'll confess to you
that everybody's guilty

Well, everybody can stare
They won't find nothin' there
incriminating
It's all buried inside
where it can stay safe and hide
Latent destruction lying in waiting.

BRIDGE
Come on, Jane, throw that stuff away
You got to let yourself die every day.
Because the thief breaks in to kill and steal.
He don't take no friends and his words ain't real
Oh, he will take you out and beat on you
and after all of this is through,
he'll make you promise that you never tell
he wants your loyalty in the fires of hell.
You got to run into the arms of someone kinder
Someone who doesn't care what a woman's put behind her.

CHORUS
Just say Forgiver of sins
Won't you come right on in,
and in the still of the night,
by a sweet candlelight,
tell me how you came to be the savior of the guilty
how you came to be the savior of the guilty.
