He was born on a subway train

No one ever knew his name

Never knows about tomorrow

He is a modern hero



A shadow goes by

There is no trace left behind - to remind



Chorus A:

King of the jungle

King of the night

King of the jungle

He will survive



He learned to live the city life

Where a stranger's glance can cut you like a knife



His life is a simple story

On the streets there is no glory

A shadow goes by there is no trace left behind - to remind



Chorus B:

King of the jungle

King of the night

King of the jungle

He will survive

Alone with his pride

Into the night he will ride



Feels no pain he has no sorrow

By himself no one to follow

Expectations next to zero

He is a modern hero

A shadow goes by there is no trace left behind - to remind



Chorus B
