The polyester vest she wears at the arcade
On a break from tearing tickets
Every minute spent on this old pinball machine
Savin´ up her money to pay her tuition
Got a little left over, she thinks

So she puts it in the machine
´Cause she´s got a high score to beat
Hey Jane, I got a little money
Wanna spend it on a night away
We´ll drive until tomorrow
Drive a mile for all our sorrows
Hey Jane, I know you´re hungry, honey
But I promise you that things will change
Just don´t let your life´s income
Determine your life´s outcome, hey Jane
She had a good job that she traded for cocaine
Every day became the same
And yesterdays were celebrated but forgotten so fast
´Cause everyone around her surrounds her in excess
She´s trying harder to convince herself
That all her better days  are not in the past
And that this paycheck´s gonna last

Hey Jane, I got a little money
Wanna spend it on a night away
We´ll drive until tomorrow
Drive a mile for all our sorrows
Hey Jane, I know you´re hungry, honey
But I promise you that things will change
Just don´t let your life´s income
Determine your life´s outcome, hey Jane
Hey Jane, I got a little money
Wanna spend it on a night away
We´ll drive until tomorrow
Drive a mile for all our sorrows
Hey Jane, I know you´re hungry, honey
But I promise you that things will change
Just don´t let your life´s income
Determine your life´s outcome
Hey Jane, I got a little money
Wanna spend it on a night away

We´ll drive until tomorrow
Drive a mile for all our sorrows
Hey Jane, I know you´re hungry, honey
But I promise you that things will change
Just don´t let your life´s income
Determine your life´s outcome, hey Jane
