Law of the Jungle

(Barone)



I took a walk into the city

Not like the city I remember

The buildings danced a deadly tango

Aimed for my shadow with a switchblade



Now its the law

Now its the law of the jungle.



These days the saints have left the city

They looked both ways and crossed the river

The eyes I meet are blank and dirty

The words I hear cut like a siren



Must be the law

Must be the law of the jungle.

This is the law

This is the law of the jungle.



This is the lawThis is the law of the jungle

Tonight the saints have fled the city

This is the lawThis is the law of the jungle

Standing in line we look for signs

This is the lawThis is the law of the jungle

We wait for trains no longer running

This is the lawThis is the law of the jungle

Clouds over Eden rolling on

This is the lawThis is the law of the jungle

Lonely sidewalks leading nowhere

This is the lawThis is the law of the jungle

Forbidden eyes, forbidden thoughts

This is the lawThis is the law of the jungle

Another Orpheus descending

This is the lawThis is the law of the jungle

Where angels die before their time

This is the lawThis is the law of the jungle

Ive seen a writing on the wall

This is the lawThis is the law of the jungle

Ive seen a writing on the wall...

This is the lawThis is the law of the jungle
