it's a jungle out there

used to be a garden

but the times got rough

and now all those innocent hears have hardened

you've got cain and abel

you've got jack and jill

they're out looking for love

on a saturday night in a coup de ville



but love got twisted

and the streets got mean

now everybody's got their secret

as the night comes down like a guillotine



true confessions

in a twisted world



its just you and me baby

in the danger zone

we're out looking for permanent love

in the middle of a city full of broken homes

where all the boys want to use you

and all the girls want to cry

and nothing works like it used to

and you can't remember your lines



i heard about a housewife sleeping in the wrong bed

head a rumour that elvis has risen from the dead

i've seen a lot of lovers been programmed to lose

seen a civilisation proclaiming the blues
