	©1998 Parker/Max, BMI If you could see like jaded jean  You wouldn't have a need for dreams  Like jaded jean in her jaded scene  She's planting seeds  A garden queen You can find her at home almost every night  Writing letters on sheets of white  Or jade green  From her garden stream  She's consciously falling asleep  Jaded jean Would you believe  Her father's at home  Watching the clocks  While mommy's alone  And would you believe  In all of these things  If you could see  Like jaded jean If you could work out everything  And fill the holes the ashes bring  You wouldn't have a need for dreams  Like jaded jean  In her jaded scene The stories come before she falls asleep  She draws the people she wants to meet  They live in houses filled with schemes  The sun rises up  And floods her streams Would you believe  Her father's at home  Watching the clocks  While mommy's alone  And would you believe  In all of these things  If you could see  Like jaded jean If you could be like jaded jean  You wouldn't have a need for dream

about

The original mix of Jaded Jean appears on Tadpoles, Smoke Ghost, album, released in 1998 on Bakery Records. Smoke Ghost was produced by Kramer (Shimmy Disc / Bongwater) at his Noise New Jersey studio and received critical acclaim upon its release.

In 2012, "For Lee Jackson In Space" was released as a digital download only album exclusively on Bandcamp. Proceeds from this album, which is still available, are donated to the ALS Association, Texas Chapter in the name of Lee Jackson, a Texan writer and cultural enthusiast, famed for his co-creedation of the noted Broken Face fanzine with Swedish writer Mats Gustafsson.

Lee interviewed the Tadpoles for the Broken Face in 1999 and reviewed a number of Tadpoles albums, always enthusiastically. For the 20th anniversary of Smoke Ghost, we are releasing as a digital single "Jaded Jean (For Lee Jackson In Space Mix)" in honor of both the Smoke Ghost album and of Lee. We encourage you to seek out the full 94 song collection "For Lee Jackson In Space" on Bandcamp!
