JANIS

SHE CAME HOWLING OUT OF TEXAS
IN THAT DARK DELIRIOUS TIME
AND SHE CLIMBED INTO THE NEXUS
OF A TIME GONE OUT OF MIND
QUEEN OF PAIN IN SAN FRANCISCO
IT WAS COOL MAN, DADDY-O
WHEN SHE FINALLY LEARNED
TO SING THE BLUES
IT WAS TIME TO GO

SO SHE TRIED JUST A LITTLE BIT HARDER
TIL SHE TRIED JUST A LITTLE TOO HARD

LITTLE EYES AND HAIR GONE CRAZY
IT WAS GROOVY -- BEAUTIFUL
HER LIGHT WAS BRIGHT BUT HAZY
PURPLE HAZY IF YOU WILL
BUT THE FOG IT DOES OBSCURE THINGS
AND IT'S SOME THINGS YOU JUST NEED
KEEP ON GETTING WOUNDED
EVENTUALLY YOU BLEED

SO SHE TRIED TO BE A LITTLE BIT HARDER
TIL SHE TRIED JUST A LITTLE TOO HARD
AND WHEN SHE SANG
SHE FELT LIKE SHE WAS MAKING LOVE TO 10,000 PEOPLE ALL AT ONCE
SO IT WAS HARD TO GO BACK HOME AND SLEEP ALONE
OR ALMOST ALONE

SO SHE TRIED....
