Lyrics

[Verse 1]

No sun will shine in my day today (No sun will shine)

The high yellow moon won't come out to play (That high yellow moon won't come out to play)

I said (Darkness)

Darkness has covered my light

(And the stage) And the stage my day into night, yeah

[Verse 2]

Where is the love to be found? (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

Won't someone tell me, 'cause life (Sweet life)

Must be somewhere to be found (Out there somewhere for me)

[Verse 3]

Instead of concrete jungle (Jungle, jungle, jungle)

Where the living is hardest (Concrete jungle)

Concrete jungle (Jungle, jungle, jungle)

Man, you've got to do your best, oh yeah (Concrete jungle)

[Verse 4]

No chains around my feet but I'm not free, oh

I know I am bound here in captivity, oh

In the end, now

(Never know what happiness is) I've never known happiness, yeah

(Never known what sweet caress is) I've never known what sweet caress is

Still, I'll be always laughing like a clown (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Won't someone help me, 'cause I (Sweet life)

I've got to pick myself from off the ground, yeah, yeah (Out there somewhere for me)

[Verse 5]

In disya concrete jungle (Jungle)

I said, what do you got for me now? Oh (Concrete jungle)

Concrete jungle (Jungle, jungle, jungle)

Ah, won't you let me be now (Concrete jungle)

Hey, oh now

[Verse 6]

I said that life (Sweet life)

Must be somewhere (Must be)

To be found, oh (Out there somewhere for me)

[Verse 7]

Instead, concrete jungle (Jungle, jungle, jungle)

Collusion, confusion (Concrete jungle)

[Outro]

Eh

Concrete jungle (Jungle, jungle, jungle)

You name it, we've got it in

Concrete jungle, yeah (Concrete jungle)

[Outro]

Eh

Concrete jungle (Jungle, jungle, jungle)

What do you got for me now? (Concrete jungle)
