[VERSE 1]
Jack and Jane, well they were quite insane
But did you think that I really cared
Though they tried to get me to insinuate
I couldn't follow them anywhere
Because they weren't ever really there

[VERSE 2]
Oh high and low the little junkies go
But did you hope to get me involved
Even though they follow you most every where
I couldn't talk to them even if I tried
You know they can't see with their eyes open wide

[Chorus]
Everybody that you knew was from a book you read
Since they never lived how could you make them dead

[Chorus]
Everybody that you knew was from a book you read
Since they never lived how could you make them dead

[VERSE 3]
So it goes, I'm right behind my nose
I follow it wherever it leads
Takes me places no one ever would believe
But they can't follow me even if they try
It's like a camel through a needle's eye
[Chorus]
Everybody that you knew was from a book you read
Since they never lived how could you make them dead
