Pro-Girl | Janis Ian

Insanity Comes Quietly To The Structured Mind



Janis Ian


She sits on a window still. Looking down, it's quite a thrill
Imagery, imagining what it is like to be dead
She walks out upon the ledge. Searching for the living end,
She wonders, wondering just what has changed in her head

Looking outward through my pain
Looking through my windowpane
See her face turn into rain

She prepares her face at last. Taking off the piece of glass
Wrapped 'round her eyes
She doesn't cry. She's very young
She's very bright to die

Then so quickly, she stands up. Takes her shoes off in a lump,
She lays them down; lately she has drowned
Checks to see her room is neat. Making sure her clothes are clean,
Dying - death and dirty clothing puts you down

Looking outward through my pain
Looking through my windowpane
See her face turn into rain

Then so quickly she stands up. Crouches low, prepares to jump
Quite properly, pretending she's in gym shooting a basketball
Floating downward through the air. Remembering the state of her hair,
She falls, and nobody hears it at all

Looking outward through my pain
Looking through my windowpane
See her face turn into rain

Yes, dawn coming through the rain, it has washed her mind away
I went ahead and made my bed. Nothing really need be said
But she's dead
You can have it cause I don't want it
If you want it you can have it
I can't take it, I'm falling, I'm calling
Please, please help me, please help me

Janis Ian - Stars (live 1974)


I was never one for singingwhat I really feelExcept tonight, I'm bringingeverything I know that's real
Stars, they come and goThey come fast or slowThey go like the last lightof the sun, all in a blazeand all you see is gloryBut it gets lonely therewhen there's no one here to shareWe can shake it awayif you'll hear a story
People lust for fameLike athletes in a gamewe break our collarbonesand come up swingingSome of us are downedSome of us are crownedand some are lostand never foundBut most have seen it allThey live their lives insad cafes and music hallsThey always have a story
Some make it when they're youngbefore the world hasdone its dirty joband later on, someone will say"You've had your dayYou must make way"But they'll never know the painof living with a name you never ownedor the many years forgettingwhat you know too well
The ones who gave the crownhave been let downYou try to make amendswithout defending
Perhaps pretendingyou never saw the eyesof grown men of twenty fivethat followed as you walkedand asked for autographsor kissed you on the cheekand you never could believethey really loved you
Some make it when they're old(Perhaps they have a soulthey're not afraid to bareOr perhaps there's nothing there)
Some women have a bodymen will want to see,so they put it on displaySome people play a fine guitarI could listen to themplay all daySome ladies reallymove across a stageand gee, they sure can danceI guess I could learn howif I have it half a chance
but I always feel so funnywhen my body tries to soarand I seem to always worryabout missing the next chord
I guess there isn't anythingto put up on displayexcept the tunesand whatever else I sayAnyway, that isn't reallywhat I meant to sayI meant to tell a storyI live from day to day
Stars, they come and goThey come fast or slowThey go like the last lightof the sun, all in a blazeand all you see is gloryBut those who've seen it allthey live their livesin sad cafes and music hallswe always have a story
So if you don't lose patiencewith my fumbling around,I'll come up singing for youeven when I'm down
