lyrics

©1998 Parker/Max, BMI

If you could see like jaded jean
 You wouldn't have a need for dreams
 Like jaded jean in her jaded scene
 She's planting seeds
 A garden queen

You can find her at home almost every night
 Writing letters on sheets of white
 Or jade green
 From her garden stream 
She's consciously falling asleep 
Jaded jean
Would you believe
 Her father's at home
 Watching the clocks 
While mommy's alone
 And would you believe
 In all of these things
 If you could see
 Like jaded jean

If you could work out everything
 And fill the holes the ashes bring
 You wouldn't have a need for dreams
 Like jaded jean
 In her jaded scene

The stories come before she falls asleep
 She draws the people she wants to meet 
They live in houses filled with schemes 
The sun rises up
 And floods her streams

Would you believe 
Her father's at home
 Watching the clocks 
While mommy's alone
 And would you believe 
In all of these things
 If you could see
 Like jaded jean

If you could be like jaded jean
 You wouldn't have a need for dreams
