[v1]
There goes Jane
Has she gone insane?
She left John high and dry
No word of warning
Shared their last morning
Then left without saying goodbye
While John slept on Jane got dressed
Then stole from him all she could find
By the time he awoke she’d already left
Though he’d never understand why
Why there must be something in the water
Dissolving all sense of honor
There must be something in the air
You breathe in deceit and breathe out despair
[v2]
So much for together forever
I’ll not make that mistake again
Said John to himself
Meanwhile someone else
Was already moved in on Jane
And if by chance their paths should cross
I don’t know if John will restrain
From teaching this punk a thing when he’s drunk
Make a fist to pass on the pain
Ah there must be something in the water
Dissolving all sense of honor
There must be something in the air
You breathe in defeat and breathe out “I don’t care”
[v3]
All these silly squabbles
Self-centered problems
Look small when viewed from above
But now a storm rages
Fuelled by their hatred
Where once there only was love
Oh John won’t you show understanding?
Oh Jane give the guy some respect
Try to recognize all reality’s lies
And the tie that keeps it all in check
Yeah, there’s something else in the water
Connecting us all with each other
There’s something else in the air
Circulating everywhere
There’s something all over the earth
Too pure to define what it’s worth
The power source of the Universe
Sometimes it’s a joy
Sometimes it’s a curse
