Songtexte

[Verse 1]
The rangers had a homecoming
In Harlem late last night
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine
Over the Jersey state line
[Verse 2]
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
The Rat pulls into town, rolls up his pants
Together they take a stab at romance and disappear down Flamingo Lane
[Verse 3]
The Maximum Lawman run down Flamingo
Chasing the Rat and the barefoot girl
The kids 'round here look just like shadows
Always quiet, holding hands
[Verse 4]
And from the churches to the jails
Tonight all is silent in the world
As we take our stand
Down in Jungleland
[Verse 5]
The midnight gangs assembled
And picked a rendezvous for the night
They'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign
That brings this fair city light
[Verse 6]
Man, there's an opera out on the Turnpike
There's a ballet being fought out in the alley
Until the local cop's cherry top
Rip this holy night
[Verse 7]
The street's alive as secret debts are paid
Contacts made, they vanished unseen
Kids flash guitars just like switchblades
Hustling for the record machine
[Verse 8]
The hungry and the hunted
Explode into rock n' roll bands
That faced off against each other out in the street
Down in Jungleland
[Verse 9]
In the parking lot
The visionaries dress in the latest rage
Inside, the backstreet girls
Are dancing to the records the DJ plays
[Verse 10]
Lonely hearted lovers struggle in dark corners
Desperate as the night moves on
With just one look and a whisper
They're gone
[Verse 11]
Beneath the city, two hearts beat
Soul engines running through a night so tender
In a bedroom locked, in whispers of soft, soft refusal
And then surrender in the tunnels uptown
[Verse 12]
The Rat's own dream guns him down
The shots echo down them hallways in the night
Nobody watches when the ambulance pulls away
When the girl shuts out the bedroom light
[Verse 13]
But outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz
Between what's flesh and what's fantasy
And man, the poets down here don't write nothing at all
They just stand back and let it all be
[Verse 14]
And in the quick of the night, they reach for their moment
And try to make an honest stand
But they wind up wounded, they're not even dead
Tonight in Jungleland
[Verse 15]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh
Oh, oh
