lyrics
She came into the city,
Where all the streets are gritty,
But she knew she was prettier than that.
She thought she’d be a starlet,
Who dressed herself in scarlet,
Or else she’d be a harlot with a hat.
Her mother was a floozy,
Who thought her life was groovy,
Mom said she’d be in movies for her looks.
Mom said “There’s nothing to it,
Just close your eyes and screw it,
You never have to do it by the books.”
Why should she care, so very much?
Why should she care?
Nothing to fear, but losing touch,
Nothing to fear.
She’d dress in something lacy,
He’s look like Spencer Tracy,
She’d act a little spacey, but real smart.
And sometimes he’d get plastered,
Start acting like a bastard,
He’d think that he had mastered all her heart.
She wouldn’t dare abuse him,
She didn’t want to lose him,
She thought that she could use him to get rich.
At first the man felt flattered,
She didn’t think it mattered,
He’d end up feeling shattered, by a bitch.
Why should she care, so very much?
Why should she care?
Nothing to fear, but losing touch,
Nothing to fear.
Why should she care, so very much?
Why should she care?
Nothing to fear, but losing touch,
Nothing to fear.

Orphan Jane is circus tents and gypsies, traditional blues and vaudeville, a dear friend of whom you're just a little
afraid. Like a drink cut with sharp mandolins, wheezing accordions and thrilling falsettos, chased by the driving lines of a standup bass. A vocalist equal parts Lotte Lenya and Little Mermaid with a band of hooligans growling close behind. Classic American folk tradition made new....more
