Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The rangers had a homecoming in harlem late last night
  • And the magic rat drove his sleek machine over the jersey state line
  • 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
  • Well the maximum lawman run down flamingo chasing the rat and the barefoot
  • Girl
  • And the kids round here look just like shadows always quiet, holding hands
  • From the churches to the jails tonight all is silence in the world
  • As we take our stand down in jungleland
  • The midnight gangs assembled and picked a rendezvous for the night
  • Theyll meet `neath that giant exxon sign that brings this fair city light
  • Man theres an opera out on the turnpike
  • Theres a ballet being fought out in the alley
  • Until the local cops, cherry tops, rips this holy night
  • The streets alive as secret debts are paid
  • Contacts made, they vanished unseen
  • Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades hustling for the record machine
  • The hungry and the hunted explode into rocknroll bands
  • That face off against each other out in the street down in jungleland
  • In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage
  • Inside the backstreet girls are dancing to the records that the d.j. plays
  • Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners
  • Desperate as the night moves on, just a look and a whisper, and theyre gone
  • Beneath the city two hearts beat
  • Soul engines running through a night so tender in a bedroom locked
  • In whispers of soft refusal and then surrender in the tunnels uptown
  • The rats own dream guns him down as shots echo down them hallways in the
  • Night
  • No one watches when the ambulance pulls away
  • Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light
  • Outside the streets on fire in a real death waltz
  • Between flesh and whats fantasy and the poets down here
  • Dont write nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be
  • And in the quick of the night they reach for their moment
  • And try to make an honest stand but they wind up wounded, not even dead
  • Tonight in jungleland
