Jane wanted nothing more than a hit
Jane wanted nothing more than a bit
So she took a chance, took a chance, took a chance
On a man in black.
Well, he brought her on a road trip
But she never came back
Jane's eyes they started rolling around
Jane's ears, well they didn't hear a sound
'Cause he took her down, took her down, took her down.
Took her all the way down.
Well, she never liked 'em watching, but now she's got a crowd.
Have you ever heard the story?
Have I ever sat you down?
Have you ever listened to me?
Well, shut up and gather round
I'll take you on a wild ride
We're going on a wild ride
We're gonna have a wild time
We're gonna have a wild time
Joe said that he'd done it before
He said, "Don't worry, just give me some more."
So she gave him more, gave him more, gave him more,
'Til he fell to the floor.
But when he floated to the ceiling,
she said, "Baby, are you sure?"
Joe woke up on the corner of third.
Joe woke up and he thought it absurd
He's a college son, college son, college son.
He can get things done.
Well, he didn't see the body
'Til the cops had come.
Have you ever heard the story?
Have I ever sat you down?
Have you ever listened to me?
Well, shut up and gather round
I'll take you on a wild ride
We're going on a wild ride
We're gonna have a wild time
We're gonna have a wild time
Jane really didn't know what to say
Heart was beatin', hands shakin' away
'Cause she saw the gun, saw the gun, saw his eyes
They were bloodshot red.
But he said, "Honey, don't you worry. It's time to go to bed"
Joe walked up seven flights of the stairs
A man in blue said, "You'd better come here."
He asked, "Is this yours, is it yours, is she yours?
Someone burst in the door"
But Joe said, "I don't know her, man, what you askin' me for?"
Have you ever heard the story?
Did I ever sit you down?
Have you ever listened to me?
Well, shut up and gather round
I'll take you on a wild ride
We're going on a wild ride
We're gonna have a wild time
We're gonna have a wild time
